We are looking for a postdoc to join the research team of the INASIA project led by Małgorzata Kot, PhD and funded by European Research Council (ERC).

Description of the project:
Long before modern humans were thought to have arrived in Eurasia, advanced stone tool technologies were already present in Central Asia. Recent discoveries in Uzbekistan reveal that blade assemblages resembling those of the Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) date back as far as 70 ka, which is prior to what was expected. This raises a crucial question: did modern humans reach the region earlier than previously believed, or did Neanderthals or Denisovans develop similar techniques independently? The ERC-funded INASIA project seeks to answer this by studying new cave sites, using a multidisciplinary approach to uncover who made these tools, how they lived, and whether they interacted with other human species, reshaping our understanding of early human migration.
