Doris JETZINGER
I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology and a member of the Doctoral School of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna. My PhD work is supervised by Michael Doneus and Roderick B. Salisbury. I am a landscape- and geoarchaeologist specialising in the interdisciplinary study of sediment archives and in landscape analysis. My main research interests are the study of landscape histories, human-landscape interactions, formation processes, and chronostratigraphic landscape contexts through interdisciplinary methods and approaches. For my dissertation project “Life of a Landscape”, I am working on the creation of an archaeological landscape biography of the Kreuttal microregion in Lower Austria that focuses on the development of the landscape over the millennia and the formation processes involved. In the course of my PhD project and associated research activities I am developing skills in (p)OSL profiling and dating, sedimentology, geochemistry, and Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC).
