About
My current postdoctoral research project is "'Regional Costume and Identity in the Final Neolithic to Bronze Age; the Statue Menhir Evidence"
The aim of this research project is to investigate regional costume and identity from the representation of clothing and adornments engraved on statue menhirs of central and northern of Europe dated from the final Neolithic to the early Bronze Age c.3300-2200 BC. Subtle and substantial variations in costumes are well documented in the present day as key to forming the visual cues to express information about social identities including gender, age, wealth, ethnicity, political allegiance and other personas. This project will seek to understand past evidence of such identities.
The project, which will involve the examination of costume motifs on approximately two hundred statue menhirs (also referred as statue stelae) of northern Italy, Switzerland, southern France and Germany, will seek to connect the significant of costume as an alteration of the human body to express social knowledge to the spatially and chronologically defined cultural environment. The results will provide an original and large scale analysis of social identity expressed through costume in the Final Neolithic to Early Bronze Age of central and northern Europe.
