Project title Networks of the dead. Mortuary practices, social interactions, and
the making of collective identities in Early and Middle Bronze Age
Crete
NCN programme SONATA BIS-15
Project Description NetworksOfTheDead harnesses the rich mortuary record of
Prepalatial and Protopalatial Crete (3100-1700 BC) to reconstruct
social networks before, during, and after the construction of the First
Minoan Palaces. The project leverages the potential of Social
Network Analysis to infer interactions among burial communities
based on data drawn from existing literature, hands-on reference
collections, and ongoing archaeological projects. Three
complementary types of evidence are investigated: remains of
mortuary activity, material culture (seals, pottery, petrographic data),
and burial site locations. By integrating these three types of evidence,
NetworksOfTheDead aims to reconstruct multi-layered networks of
intercommunity interaction and explore how collective identities
were negotiated across multiple scales, so as to shed light on the
dynamics that drove social change.
Key responsibilities
include- Contribution to bibliographic review, the development of the
project website, the conceptualisation of the project database, and
the data management plan. - Recording of pottery variables in the project’s database.
- Definition of pottery classes relevant for identifying inter-
community interaction and reconstruction of pottery-based material
culture networks. - Participation in the four-week annual study campaigns of the
project “Minoan funerary practices at Malia” (Crete, Greece; French
School at Athens; PI S. Dederix). - Contribution to the integration, comparison, and interpretation of
networks reconstructed from different types of archaeological
evidence. - Communication and dissemination of results through conference
presentations and publications. - Contribution to the project’s final monograph.
Profile of
candidates/requirements
The competition is open to applicants who meet the conditions
specified in the regulations on the allocation of resources for the
implementation of tasks financed by the National Science Centre
under the SONATA BIS-15 grant. - MA in archaeology (or a related discipline). The MA degree

employment on the project). The successful candidate is expected to
