Anastasia's research is a part of Marie Sklodowska Curie Programme TERRANOVA “The New Learning Initiative between Humanities and Science: Mapping Past Environments and Energy Regimes, Rethinking Human Environment Interaction and Designing Land Management Tools for Policy". Anastasia focuses on the impact of the earliest societies of Europe (Palaeolithic - Mesolithic hunters and gatherers). The project specifically concentrates on the influence of fire use on early prehistoric landscapes. The project uses a combination of methods (Agent-Based Modelling, GIS) and proxies (archaeological, palaeoenvironmental) in order to model landscape evolution and identify the possible roles of human activities in these transformations. |
