Dr Charlotte Diffey is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow affiliated with the University of Oxford. Her research explores archaeobotany, the archaeology of prehistoric farming communities in the Eastern Mediterranean (Neolithic to Late Bronze Age), agricultural management systems, and stable isotope analysis.
- Current projects: British Academy-funded 'Plants and Power' study on Late Bronze Age Hattusha, Stelida Naxos Archaeological Project (SNAP), and the Freston Archaeological Research Mission (FARM).
- Geographical focus: Eastern Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, and Southwest Asia.
Her work bridges archaeobotanical analysis with ecological and isotopic methods to investigate ancient agricultural intensity, urban resilience, and social inequality. Recent publications highlight comparative studies across Eurasia and North Africa, emphasizing cross-regional agricultural systems and functional plant traits.
Scientific awards:
- British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship
Collaborative efforts include fieldwork and excavation projects in Greece, Turkey, and the Near East, analyzing cereal storage, weed ecology, and early urban farming strategies.
