[Proflist] looking for help with research project

[Fredric Cheyette]

I am looking for a graduate student or post-doc with expertise in 
interpreting pollen data for help with on ongoing research project on 
the transformation of the European countryside between the third and the 
eleventh century.  I laid out the general problem in a recent 
publication "The disappearance of the ancient landscape and the climatic 
anomaly of the early Middle Ages: a question to be pursued," /Early 
Medieval Europe/  2008 (preprint available on my website,
> http://www3.amherst.edu/~flcheyette/Publications/Transformation%20for%20web.pdf)
The nature of the ongoing project is suggested at the end of the article.
A Mellon foundation grant will help pay for data collection, computer 
time, and travel, but, alas,  not for salaries.  I am eager to hear from 
any graduate student or post-doc with the required expertise who might 
be interested in participating.
