PhD Scholarship - Phytolith analysis

[Janelle.Stevenson at csiro.au]

Dear List Members,

We have PhD scholarship in phytolith analysis starting January 2002. The
scholarship is to be held at the Department of Archaeology and Natural
History at ANU and is part of a joint archaeology/palaeoenvironmental
project.
The project, which is funded by the ARC Discovery grants scheme,
investigates the transition of mainland Asian cultures into island southeast
Asia 6000-3500 years ago by an archaeological and palaeoenvironmental study
of near-Asian islands including the Philippines and Taiwan. The project aims
to provide a new and more detailed account of neolithic expansion including
accounts of settlement pattern, subsistence development and environmental
relationships. 
Could supervisors who have honours or masters students interested in
undertaking a PhD in this area please draw their attention to this
scholarship.

More information on the project, the scholarship and undertaking a PhD at
ANU can be found at the Centre for Archaeological Research web page
http://car.anu.edu.au/Phdadvert.html

or by contacting me directly.

Ta
Janelle Stevenson
