Накратко на български

Остатъците от каменната епоха по европейските крайбрежия, като например следи от древни ловци и рибари, се изучават чрез различни науки. Това помага за по-доброто опазване на тези крехки обекти, които са застрашени от климатичните промени и градското застрояване.

Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy

Coastal zones all over the world face growing pressure from climate change and development, with archaeological sites in these areas at increasing risk. The HORIZON MSCA Doctoral network ArCHe addresses the increasing vulnerability of the material remains of Stone Age coastal hunter-fisher-gatherer (HFG) societies (c. 12,000–2,000 BCE) across Europe and places the relevance of this heritage on the agenda. It is exposed to diverse challenges: Sites and remains are submerged in some areas and preserved inland in others due to different regional geological processes, which also result in diverse preservation conditions. In addition, most sites consist of fragile remains that are not visible on the surface. Hence, this heritage is unevenly researched, differently managed and often insufficiently integrated into spatial planning and public awareness. To face these challenges ArCHe applies an innovative past-present-future approach by combining the humanities, earth sciences, life sciences and social sciences. This aims at 1) researching past hunter-fisher-gatherers in their coastal environments, 2) studying how this knowledge comes into being in the present, and 3) developing better practices for the sustainable integration of this legacy into future awareness and landscapes. A central objective is to train ten doctoral candidates (DCs) in an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral network, including academic and non-academic joint training and individual research projects. Expertise from diverse disciplines is combined, to investigate both past human–coastal interactions and the societal and environmental context in which this heritage is managed and communicated. Collaboration with museums, filmmakers, the heritage sector and coastal protection actors allow for the development of applied practices and shared approaches to coastal heritage research and management including the communication to a broad range of audiences. By positioning Stone Age HFG coastal heritage as a resource for understanding long-term human–environment relations, ArCHe will impact awareness and governance of Europe’s coastal landscapes amid accelerating environmental change and development, and their sustainable integration.

Цел на проекта

DN ArCHe trains 10 PhD fellows for increasing the scientific and public value of Europe’s archaeological coastal heritage, focusing on the legacy of Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherers. Including some of the earliest remains of human activity, this legacy is crucial for understanding human engagement with the coast. Yet it is fragile and highly heterogeneous, with diverse material and cultural expressions. It is embedded in a variety of geographic settings across Europe differing in environmental development, which face massive environmental and human threats. It is also approached in various ways in cultural heritage management with little systematic integration of knowledge on the topic. DN ArCHe deals with the challenges of this fractured field with an innovative past-present-future approach which focuses on connecting the legacy from the past, its present status as archaeological heritage and prospects for its future protection and integration. With six beneficiaries and nine associated partners, ArCHe unites academic research centres and non-academic organizations (cultural heritage sector, specialist organisations, museums, media). As a joint platform for research and training, it leverages on customized PhD projects, cross-fertilization of knowledge among researchers and partners, scientific courses, workshops, conferences, applied secondments and transferable skills training. Training in archaeology, anthropology, critical heritage studies, heritage management, bioarchaeology, geology, oceanography, coastal engineering/preservation and communication relevant to coastal heritage and environment, equips ArCHe PhDs with advanced interdisciplinary and cross-regional knowledge and skills applicable to various academic and non-academic fields across Europe. Through best practices, they will contribute to the visibility, preservation and sustainable integration of the vulnerable cultural heritage in coastal areas facing global environmental and development challenges.
