ROAM: a Regional Outlook on Ancient Migration

Migration, diet and health of the first permanent settlers of Belgium: inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives

The aim of this project is to generate regional-scale insights into the lifeways of the first modern humans to settle permanently in Belgium during the Final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic. It achieves this through multi- and inter-disciplinary analysis of contextualised data from archaeological, palaeontological and anthropological assemblages whilst developing state-of-the-art analytical techniques in the fields of proteomics and stable isotope analysis.
