The Initiative brings historians and archaeologists together with other scholars and scientists to apply the tools of 21st-century science and technology to the study of the human past. From using DNA analysis to rethink migration and human health history, to the Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilization, to studying ice cores to assess human-climate interactions over two millennia, the InitiativeâEUR(TM)s cross-disciplinary work is breaking new ground. Michael McCormick has been at Harvard since 1991. Prior to that he served on the faculty in the Department of History at Johns Hopkins University.
