Dear all,
Please find enclosed the call for posters for the Vine-growing and winemaking in the Roman World conference, which will take place in Rome from Oct 27 till Oct 29 at the Academia Belgica, the British School and the Royal Dutch Institute.
Registration is possible via: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vine-growing-and-winemaking-in-the-roman-world-tickets-154546600041?fbclid=IwAR36fF63pyqsKDmbh-1YZuSIeV76HfEpa9OSEMSmbsNKNiaUfiM9iPrEtd0
This three-day hybrid event brings together archaeologists and classicists worldwide to debate current developments in the field of Roman vine and wine studies. Almost 30 years after the seminal La production du vin et de l’huile en Méditerranée volume by Amouretti & Brun (1993), and some 15 years after its monumental four-part follow-up Archéologie du vin et de l’huile by Brun (2003-2005), the corpus of viticultural material has steadily grown in various parts of the Roman world, while the archaeological study of Roman wine has evolved into a highly dynamic and multidisciplinary field. The time is ripe then to draw up a new state of the field, to upgrade our knowledge on data and methods, and to discuss how to steer forward the study of Roman viniculture into new, pertinent and promising directions.
Alongside the main section of the conference – with over 50 specialists updating our views on these matters in East and West over six territorial sessions – a poster session is also planned to present recently launched projects and/or initial results that are worthwhile to show to the scientific community at this early stage. The poster session is hereby meant specifically to offer the opportunity to share ideas and data in a less formal setting than a paper presentation, and to discuss and receive feedback on work in progress. We welcome in particular posters on new and ongoing interdisciplinary research, such as bio-archaeological, geochemical and archaeometric approaches, and studies that involve ceramic (dolia, amphorae) and structural data into wider landscape, network and digital humanities projects. Topics are not limited to these themes, but all should focus on promoting preliminary work that holds great potential for the field. While those of all career stages are welcome to contribute posters, we especially invite and encourage Early Career Researchers, PhD, Master’s and undergraduate researchers to submit proposals.
Please note that posters will be showcased online. To this end, a virtual environment will be created that will allow attendees to move in and out freely at any time during the session to ask questions in real time. This creates a digital setting similar to how poster presenters would interact with attendees in person. In addition, we ask poster presenters to prepare a 30 sec pre-recorded lightning talk that will become available online along with a pdf of the poster for the entire duration of the event. More details about the poster session will be provided once the virtual format of the conference is finalized.
Poster presenters will be given the opportunity to rework their poster into a short paper of ca. 3.000 words, to be published in a second volume of the conference proceedings. More information on the publication process and author guidelines will be provided as soon as possible.
Those interested in submitting a poster proposal, are requested to send a short abstract (ca. 150 words) to [log in to unmask] – [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] by September 1st, 2021. Applicants will be notified shortly afterwards.
Please share!
Best,
