“Genetic
Evolution: New Evidences for the Study of Interconnected Structures. A
Biomolecular Journey around the Carpathians from Ancient to Medieval Times”
Project Director : Acad. Octavian POPESCU
With the advent of molecular techniques, no biological discipline could
remain the same. Today, classic theories and approaches are verified using
methodologies involving molecular analyses. Often, the image presented by
molecular techniques completely challenges past suppositions. Archaeology
and history, two research areas apparently meant to remain in their “pure”,
classic form, tend now towards interdisciplinarity. Being concerned with
recounting and reconstructing past lives, they involve, at some point, the
study of plant, animal and human remains, and thus, are also affected by the
molecular revolution that sweeps other biological domains. The extended team
of this project reunites historians, archaeologists, biologists, MD’s and
physicists who approach in a interdisciplinary manner the study of past
human populations who occupied at diverse intervals and in diverse locations
around the Carpathian mountains the territory of today’s Romania. The
objective of our project is to establish an autochthonous young
interdisciplinary team to function beyond the end of the project in the
field of bioarchaeology, with both scientific (academic research),
commercial (expertise and analysis of samples for third parties) and
formative (passing on information to the next generation of
“bioarchaeologists” via courses, workshops, etc.) responsibilities.
“Evolutie
Genetică: Dovezi noi în studiul unor structuri
interconectate. O călătorie biomoleculară în jurul Carpaţilor din
Antichitate până în Evul Mediu”
Director proiect: Acad. Octavian POPESCU
Odata cu aparitia tehnicilor
moleculare, nicio disciplina biologica nu a putut ramane neschimbata. Astazi,
teoriile clasice sunt verificate cu ajutorul unor analize moleculare. Adesea,
rezultatele tehnicilor moleculare pun sub semnul intrebarii ipotezele
anterioare. Arheologia si istoria, doua discipline ce par a fi sortite unei
forme pure, clasice, tind acum spre interdisciplinaritate. Fiind discipline
ce istorisesc si reconstruiesc vieti trecute, ele implica si studiul
resturilor vegetale, animale si umane, fiind de asemenea afectate de
revolutia moleculara ce afecteaza si alte domenii biologice. Echipa extinsa
a acestui proiect reuneste istorici, arheologi, biologi, medici si fizicieni
ce vor aborda intr-un mod interdisciplinar studiul populatiilor umane vechi
ce au ocupat, in diverse perioade si regiuni din jurul Carpatilor,
teritoriul Romaniei de azi. Obiectivul proiectului nostru este acela de a
alcatui o echipa interdisciplinara tanara care sa functioneze dincolo de
limitele proiectului in domeniul bioarheologiei, cu responsabilitati
stiintifice (cercetare academica), comerciala (evaluare si analizarea unor
probe pentru terti) si formative (transmiterea informatiei catre urmatoarea
generatie de bioarheologi, prin cursuri, workshop-uri etc.).
