Dear all,
We would like to remind you that the deadline for the session "Natural or anthropogenic - dynamic and mobility of faunal landscapes" is October 15th 2010.
This session will be part of the forthcoming "Open Workshop: Socio-environmental dynamics over the last 12,000 years: The Creation of Landscapes II". The Workshop will take place in the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Germany), March 14th-18th 2011.
Please note that the Graduate School “Human Development in Landscapes” (CAU Kiel) offers travel grants for selected abstracts of doctoral students

Session 8: Natural or anthropogenic - dynamic and mobility of faunal landscapes
Scope: The animal world as an important feature of the landscape is now commonly taken into account in archaeological studies. One of the most important aspects of zooarchaeological studies is the impact of mobility on animal communities, human societies and landscapes. Research dealing with the manipulation of natural (animal) resources by human societies as well as with the difficulties inhered in the exploitation of dynamic and mobile animal populations is of first importance in understanding the creation of landscapes.
We aim to gather a wide range of disciplines to investigate various topics concerning the mobility of domestic and wild animal populations in a broad sense. Particular attention will be given to the impact of this mobility on human societies and landscapes (and vice versa). To reach this goal, we expect lectures dealing with zooarchaeology, archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, ethnology, molecular genetics, isotopic studies, spatial analysis, ecological modelling, entomology and other environmental sciences using examples from various geographic areas and chronological periods.
Abstracts are welcome until the 15th of October, 2010.
