Collaborative PhD in Roman coin finds in Britain: The Institute of Archaeology, University College London and the Portable Antiquities Scheme, The British Museum
This AHRC funded PhD will support a student in researching the 45,000 or more Roman coins that have been recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme (www.finds.org.uk) since 1997. The Project will start at the end of September 2007 for three years. The successful candidate will develop and apply a range of research methods to the data and present a coherent analysis of the PAS finds against existing published material. The student will be based at the Institute of Archaeology and the British Museum where the Portable Antiquities Scheme is administered. Knowledge of and interest in Roman archaeology is important and candidates must be prepared to learn and apply statistical techniques. Applicants must be either UK residents (full studentship) or EU nationals (fees only).
They should normally have, or expect soon to be awarded, a Masters degree.
