Søren Feldborg Pedersen studied classical archaeology from 2012 to 2014 and prehistoric archaeology from 2014 to 2019 at the University of Copenhagen. His bachelor's thesis dealt with Neolithic pottery in Denmark, and his master's thesis "Traces of Industry" dealt with Sodohome II pottery from the excavation site "Erics Cave" in Bohicon (Benin). Since 2015, Pedersen has been a member of the Benin-Denmark Archaeology (BDAarc) team led by Dr. Inga Merkyte, in which he has served as excavation supervisor and researcher with a focus on modern pottery production, conducting registration and analysis of prehistoric pottery from various excavation sites.
Since 2019, he has been a research assistant and PhD student in the project “Borrowed Words and Shared Objects", which is based at the Frobenius Institute in cooperation with the University of Hamburg. The aim of his work is the design and analysis of a network model for pottery of the Niger Valley from the period 500 – 1500 AD.
