Livija Ivanovaité

Livija Ivanovaitė (M.A.) is a PhD student within the project “40 000 years of human challenges: perception, conceptualisation, and coping in premodern societies” at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Her main research interest is the (re)-colonization of middle and northern European latitudes after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). She is also interested in cumulative culture and knowledge transmission among prehistoric hunter-gatherers.

Livija Ivanovaitė is working on a PhD topic “Hunter-gatherers presence in Central Europe at the end of Late Glacial Maximum and subsequent re-colonisation process of middle and northern European latitudes”. In her work she investigates sporadic hunter-gatherers presence in the Central Europe at the end of LGM, coping mechanisms with unfavorable palaeoenvironmental conditions during and early post-LGM, and subsequent expansion process by hunter-gatherers.

Das Forschungsvorhaben ist Teil der Thematischen Area 2: Kreierte Welt.
