Brinkmann, Johanna (Dr.)
Johanna Brinkmann is a postdoc in the ROOTS Cluster of Excellence at Kiel University, where she conducts research about knowledge transfer in the European Bronze Age and the relationship between theory and practice in archaeology. She completed her PhD on Neolithic monumentality at Kiel University in 2023 during which she was part of the ‘CRC 1266 Scales of Transformation’. Johanna studied Pre- and Protohistoric Archaeology in Würzburg and Kiel and was awarded the German Archaeology Study Prize for her Master’s thesis on the energy expenditure of Bronze Age metallurgy. She specializes in the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Northern and Central Europe. The emphasis of her research in the past has been on megalithism and monumentality in North-western Europe as well as the Bronze Age in Central Europe, where she focussed on large-scale analysis of archaeological material, technological aspects of bronze metallurgy and reflectivity in archaeology.
