Congratulations to Prof. Joanna Brück, UCD School of Archaeology, on her prestigious ERC Advanced Grant 2021 for her project to investigate ‘Animals and Society in Bronze Age Europe.’

Professor Brück said: “How to live sustainably with ‘non-human others’ is one of the major challenges that humans have faced both past and present. My project will explore the history of human-animal relations in Bronze Age Europe. By training a new generation of postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars to bring together archaeological and scientific data, the team’s research will transform our understanding of Bronze Age animal management and breeding; animal mobility and exchange; and the role of animals in feasting and ritual. In contrast to previous approaches, the project will see animals not just as objects to be traded"

Collaborating with researchers at University of Bristol Organic Geochemistry Unit and Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris), Jo’s research will bring together a range of archaeological and scientific data to explore how Bronze Age animals were not just objects to be traded and consumed, but were co-participants in complex social and cultural worlds.
