Scott Diuguid McLin

Scott Diuguid McLin is a doctoral researcher at the University of Tübingen, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and the Department of Geosciences. He is currently working on the ERC REVIVE project, focusing on geoarchaeology and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.

• Educational Background:
  • Doctoral candidate in Geoarchaeology (University of Tübingen, 2022–Present)
  • M.Sc. in Quaternary Sciences & Geoarchaeology (University of Cologne, 2021)
  • B.Sc. in Earth Sciences (University of Freiburg, 2017)

McLin’s research centers on human-environment interactions, landscape evolution, and site formation processes. He employs isotopic studies, micromorphological techniques, µXRF, and SEM to analyze sedimentary processes and integrates these with computational models to understand past environmental dynamics and human responses. His work includes studies on Upper Paleolithic sites in Southeastern Europe and western Romanian karst landscapes.

McLin is supervised by Dr. Sireen El-Zaatari and Dr. Christopher Miller. He is based in the Palaeoanthropology work group of the Institute for Archaeological Sciences (Room 501, Hauptgebäude, 2nd floor).
