About this position
This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR ROCKMAPS project within the Trajectoires laboratory (UMR 8215). The research focuses on the rock art panels of Bedolina in Capo di Ponte, Lombardy, and their role as engraved cartographic representations carved into stone.
The selected researcher will investigate the relationship between the engraved motifs on panels R1, R4, R7, and R9 and their surrounding anthropic and natural environment. The project combines archaeological interpretation with spatial and statistical approaches to examine how the engravings relate to tombs, settlements, rock-art sites, specialized sites, springs, drainage networks, ridgelines, prominent landscape features, and mines across the Val Camonica.
A major part of the work is the creation of a georeferenced database covering archaeological occupations from the Neolithic to the Iron Age and notable natural sites across an area of about 1,500 km². This database will be built from aerial and satellite imagery, remote sensing, and a review of archaeological publications and grey literature.
The research also includes detailed analysis of the Bedolina engravings through 3D recording and surface study, using photogrammetry, stereoscopic scanning, and RTI. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to typo-chronological study of the panels and their surface states, and will lead archaeological test pits at the foot of two engraved panels to refine chronology and geomorphological history.
The work is embedded in a collaborative network involving researchers from archaeology, geomorphology, geography, and geology, with project partners including UMR 8215 Trajectoires, UMR 6554 LETG, UMR 6118 Géosciences Rennes, EA 4451 CRBC, MAN, Inrap, and the Parco archeologico di Seradina-Bedolina. Fieldwork and data acquisition will take place in Val Camonica, alongside workshops in Paris and Brest and annual project meetings.
This position is clearly centered on interdisciplinary landscape archaeology, combining rock art analysis, spatial databases, remote sensing, 3D documentation, and geostatistics.
