Hi zooarch,
A friend asked me to post this conference announcement. Please don't reply
to me as I'm not involved with the conference.
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
Association for Environmental Archaeology
One-day Spring Meeting, Saturday, 17th February 2007
University College Cork, Republic of Ireland
?Environmental Archaeology in Ireland: new perspectives and recent research?
The last decade has witnessed an enormous increase in the number of
archaeological excavations being undertaken throughout Ireland. This increase
in excavation has been accompanied by a substantial increase in studies
relating to environmental archaeology, both in the quantity of work and range
of analyses being carried out.
It is envisaged that the Cork one-day meeting will provide a much-needed
discussion forum for workers carrying out studies in environmental archaeology
throughout Ireland, as well as updating the wider archaeological and
environmental communities of latest research. It is also hoped that the meeting
will attract people from Europe and beyond in order to compare approaches and
results.
Offers of papers on any aspect of environmental archaeology relating to Ireland
are welcomed. Papers relating to studies in areas beyond Ireland that may
provide useful comparisons are also welcomed, for example studies relating to
wetlands and islands. A selection of papers from the conference will be offered
for publication in a future issue of Environmental Archaeology, the journal of
the Association for Environmental Archaeology. Offers of posters will also be
warmly welcomed.
