Dear colleagues,

It was great seeing you all at Lecce. We cannot thank Girolamo, Milena  
and Valentina together with their team enough for this wonderful  
meeting.

I just wish to remind you that you can be informed about PlantCult  
updates both through its webpage but also through facebook. I hope you  
will 'like' PlantCult's facebook and join our community in this way.  
Our latest 'entry' Andi's hoard of the rings, also communicated by the  
media as hot bagels (among other 'interpretations') 'fresh from the  
oven' as Marian's paper will explain with her charring experiments and  
methodology!

Next year we will organise in Thessaloniki the PlantCult closing of  
the project conference, sometime between September and October 2020,  
we will let you know when the precise time is known.

Thanks for 'liking PlantCult' in advance!

With best wishes,

Tania

> Abstract:
>
> Transitions in agriculture: Integrating Archaeological Sciences
>
> Agriculture has been the focus of the human economy in Europe for  
> much of the past 9000 years and, as such, its evolution has been the  
> subject of intensive research. The history of agriculture has been  
> punctuated by a number of major transitions – from its initial  
> adoption in the Early Neolithic, to the specialisations that  
> occurred in the Late Neolithic to Bronze Age, and again from the  
> Iron Age to the Roman period, from Roman times to the Early Middle  
> Ages, and the remarkable innovations in Post-Medieval times. These  
> agricultural transitions are inextricably linked to significant  
> environmental, social, cultural and political changes that affected  
> all aspects of human life. However, as historical and archaeological  
> disciplines have become increasingly specialised, it is often very  
> challenging to look beyond one’s specific niche of interest and  
> combine the different strands of evidence, while the integration of  
> different archaeological disciplines (archaeobotany, zooarchaeology,  
> geoarchaeology, genetics, etc.) is often key to our understanding of  
> the driving forces behind these important processes.
>
> This session aims to bring together archaeological scientists whose  
> work focusses on agricultural transitions (for example in farming,  
> animal husbandry, horticulture or arboriculture). We particularly  
> welcome interdisciplinary papers which involve the integration of  
> different scientific methods. Potential themes include (but are not  
> restricted to):
>
> -        New research related to agricultural transitions
>
> -        Ways of characterising different agricultural transitions
>
> -        Links between agricultural and cultural transitions
>
> -        The causes and effects of agricultural transitions
>
> -        Challenges faced when integrating different lines of data
>
> -        Future directions for the study of transitions in agriculture
