First Call for Papers One-day colloquium at Rewley House, University of Oxford Friday 15th March 2013 The first call for papers in now open for a one-day colloquium to discuss recent research into pre-industrial tillage methods. There has been limited synthetic research in
recent years on the use of different tillage methods in antiquity, despite their importance for the study of past agricultural practices and their social implications. It is hoped that this conference will bring together scholars with varying backgrounds and
levels of experience, representing a range of historical, archaeological and environmental disciplines. We would like to invite abstract submissions within, but not restricted to, the following fields of research: 1. Landscapes & settlements 2. Documentary & iconographic history 3. Artefactual archaeology 4. Environmental archaeology 5. Ethnography 6. Soil science Papers will each be allocated 20 minutes, followed by time for discussion. Abstracts should be no longer than 200 words and submitted by e-mail. The deadline isFriday
7th December. We hope to be able to offer some financial support for Postgraduate students (TBC). Please enquire for further details.
