M.A. Sabine Karg, Ph.D.

I am an archaeologist (MA) and botanist (Dr. phil.) and my research is focused on finding answers to questions concerning the interrelationship between mankind and nature in a long-term perspective, the development, application and impact of new economic plants and land-use techniques during the last 10,000 years, as a response to changes in climate and cultural traditions. Throughout my career I have always aimed to exceed the limits of the conventional methods by applying new methodologies, such as isotope analysis, molecular genetics and scanning electronic microscope analysis, and actively integrating the new results obtained into archaeology.

Research associate on the HACIER project from 1 October 2014 until 31 January 2016.
