Draft:Jennifer Jones (archaeology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jennifer Jones is a British archaeological scientist and senior lecturer at University of Central Lancashire. She specialises in using stable isotope analysis alongside zooarchaeological methods to explore past human diet, human/animal interactions, and faunal palaeoecologies.

Education

[edit]

Jones graduated with a BSc in Archaeology 2008 followed by an MSc in Environmental Archaeology in 2009, both from UCL. In 2014, she completed her PhD in Bioarchaeology at University of Cardiff titled 'Land and sea: understanding diet and economies through time in the North Atlantic Islands'.[1] Her PhD was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as part of a wider project with Prof. Richard Evershed and Dr. Lucy Cramp investigating marine resource use in the North Atlantic Islands of Scotland, from the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition to the Norse period.[2]

Research Career

[edit]

Between 2015-2017, Jones was a Marie Skłodowska Curie Research Fellow at the International Institute for Prehistoric Research in Cantabria (IIIPC) using a multi proxy isotopic approach to investigate human responses to environmental change in Northern Spain from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Mesolithic.

Between 2019-2020, Jones received the Juan e la Cierva-incorporación grant for her postdoctoral research at the IIIPC at the University of Cantabria as part of the EVOAPTA research group.

Jones' current research projects include:[3]

  • 'Early Atlantic Farmers and the Challenges of transitioning to agriculture: Insights from El Mirón Cave', where Jones is a principle investigator.
  • 'Bioarchaeology, Palaeoenvironments and Paleoclimates during the Palaeolithic in the Iberian Peninsula', where Jones is a principle investigator.
  • 'An Early Medieval West African from Kent: C14 dates, and stable isotopes from Uptown, Estery', where Jones is a Collaborator.

Past projects include:

  • 'Hunter-Gatherer adaptations in Northern Iberian Refugia from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Mesolithic: a multi-proxy climatic investigation' with CLIMAPROX (2015–2017)[4] where Jones was Principle Investigator.
  • 'Human Subsistence and Climate Change in European Refugia: Late Neanderthals and Early Modern Humans' with EUROREFUGIA (2012–2016)[5] Where Jones was a collaborator.
  • 'Diversification and Sustainability in Coastal communities: The role of Marine Resources', where Jones was a Co-Investigator.

Teaching Career

[edit]

Jones was a teaching fellow in Archaeological Science at the University of Aberdeen from 2017-2018, and a lecturer at the same institute from 2018-2019.

From 2020-current, Jones is a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire teaching Archaeological Science alongside active research.

Conferences and Events[3]

[edit]

Jones was a session co-organiser with Dr. Geoff Smith at the 26th European Association of Archaeologists conference in Budapest, Hungary, looking at the reconstruction of faunal exploitation patterns, palaeoecologies and living landscapes of the Pleistocene.[6]

Jones was a session co-organiser with Dr. Benjamin Irvine at the 24th European Association of Archaeologists conference. Barcelona, Spain, looking at bioarchaeological approaches towards diet and subsistence in early societies.[7]

Jones was a session co-organiser with Dr. Kate Britton, looking understanding palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic change and their impact on human and animal behaviour.[8]
