Africa research moves into the home office<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\nworld pauses – the new Covid-19 virus also leaves its mark on the priority\nprogramme „Entangled Africa“. Carefully planned campaigns have been\nprematurely broken off or cancelled, trips by our African partners have been\npostponed.  But there is also plenty of\nwork to be done in the home office.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\neveryday life of an archaeologist is mostly divided into three parts: Field\nwork, sampling in the laboratory and processing for publication. Laboratory\nanalysis and data evaluation, interpretation and writing of results usually\ntakes more time than the preceding work in the field. So our researchers are\ncurrently devoting themselves to the last step as best they can. The selection\nof literature is currently limited, and it may not even be possible to consult\nthe colleagues right next door. But the limitations are also seen as an\nopportunity. Digital access to libraries and repositories seems more than ever\nto be of indescribable value. Online conference systems are experiencing an\nupswing. We would therefore like to thank all the institutions and libraries\nthat work every day to make material and software digitally available and\naccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must rethink in times of corona.  Our thoughts are currently with the numerous crisis helpers, as well as with our colleagues in Africa and around the world. We hope that they and their families will survive this time in good health and that we will soon be able to sit down at the same table again for field research and scientific exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nmany people in our country and around the world, everyday life is currently a\nhigh-risk zone. They are directly involved in the fight against the virus and\nfor the maintenance of infrastructure and a bit of normality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nsmall part we can do as well. We remain curious – but for now from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay\nhealthy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
