HEAS Member awarded FWF grant for project “Residential Mobility in Upper Palaeolithic Europe”

HEAS Team Leader Philip R. Nigst has been awarded an FWF Principal Investigator grant for his project REMO (Residential Mobility in Upper Palaeolithic Europe) along with collaborators Marjolein D. Bosch, Andrea Manica, Andrew Kandel, Paloma de la Peña, Cristina Cordoş and Michael Brandl.

They will investigate the degree of residential mobility and landscape use strategies in Upper Palaeolithic Europe through an analysis of lithic and faunal datasets. REMO’s approach is routed in human behavioural ecology and quantifies variation in lithic and faunal datasets as indicators for mobility to compare with environmental and climatic proxies.
