Jérôme Ros is a bioarcheologist and historical archaeologist who specializes in the evolution and dynamics of Mediterranean agriculture and forests (France, Spain, Morocco), in relation with social, economic and climatic changes during the Middle Ages. His work is based on different archaeobotanical approaches (carpology, anthracology).
He completed a PhD (2013) at the National Museum of Natural History of Paris (UMR7209), which focused on agrarian dynamics in northern Catalonia between the Iron Age and the Late Middle Ages (800 BC to 1500 AD). After his PhD, he developed new fields of study (Spain, Morocco) in order to document, through carpology and anthracology, the agrarian evolution in these regions following the medieval Muslim expansion. Since 2019, he is a CNRS researcher (ISEM, UMR5554). Since 2024, he supervises the ANR project “ISEMA: Framing the Impact of Socio-Economical changes on medieval Mediterranean Agriculture” (ANR-23-CE27-0003).
