Marjolein Admiraal
Dr Marjolein Admiraal is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow leading the FLOOD project. She is an archaeological scientist specialising in biomolecular and isotopic methods to investigate past human–environment relationships. Her work has focused on environmental and cultural change in Alaska, Siberia, Brazil, and now northwest Europe. Through FLOOD, Marjolein applies cutting-edge techniques to strengthen radiocarbon chronologies and reduce destructive sampling of rare specimens.
Michael Dee
Prof. Michael Dee is an internationally recognised expert in radiocarbon dating and director of the radiocarbon laboratory of the University of Groningen. His work pushes the methodological frontiers of the field, recently pioneering the exact-year dating method. With extensive experience supervising researchers and leading innovative ERC projects (e.g., see CONTACT), he provides FLOOD with essential expertise in radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling.
Collaborations
FLOOD is a highly interdisciplinary project that incorporates a whole suite of cutting-edge methods in radiocarbon dating and biomolecular archaeology. Several researchers and institutions are connected to the project through collaboration:
-
Hydroxyproline dating will be done in collaboration with Dr Rachel Wood and Dr Mark Stevenson and others at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit of the University of Oxford, during a training visit.
-
Dr Hans Peeters of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology fulfills an important advisory role for the fellow with his extensive experience in Doggerland research.
-
Partnership with the museums that house the extensive Doggerland collections is crucial for FLOOD. The Natural History Museum of Rotterdam and Naturalis Biodiversity Center collaborate and provide samples.
-
ZooMS analysis will be done in collaboration with the BioArCh laboratory of the University of York during a training visit with Dr Samantha Greeves.
-
Through a collaboration with Dr Kai Kniepkamp at the Hanzehogeschool Groningen the FLOOD project can prescreen samples using FT-IR.
FLOOD is funded by the European Commission: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Grant agreement: 101204575).
