Pushing the envelope, from GINI to EXPLO

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Thinking of Acronyms: a Kohler Obsession? Papers in Honor of Timothy A. Kohler (TAKO)" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Tim Kohler’s research is a masterclass in collaboration-building, openness and strategic thinking, all managed with good humour – and acronyms. Here I aim to show how lessons from Tim’s work in the Southwest and on the GINI project inform Oxford research on EXPLO, an ERC synergy project with the Universities of Bern and Thessaloniki. EXPLO’s focus is Neolithic settlement along upland lakeshores in northern Greece and the southwest Balkans. Waterlogged preservation opens up new perspectives on land-use practices and climatic ‘envelopes’ of early farmers in these cooler, wetter zones, alongside Neolithic dispersal further north, into temperate Europe.
