The School of Archaeology at the University of Oxford invites applications for a fully funded DPhil studentship (36 months) as part of the project Technological Processes & Social Organization in Early Northern China, led by Anke Hein and co-supervised by Guohua Yang.
The project investigates the relationship between technological processes—such as ceramic and jade production—and social organization in Neolithic and Bronze Age northern China. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it integrates archaeology, materials science, and spatial and network analysis to explore production, exchange, and socio-political formation across the region.
The studentship covers tuition (home rate) and a UKRI-level stipend.
Applications are now open. Information about applying is at https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Anke Hein or Dr Guohua Yang.
