Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to announce the call for papers for the first meeting of the ICAZ Roman Period Working Group, that will take place in Sheffield, 20th -22nd November 2014, and will be entitled: Husbandry in the Western Roman Empire: a zooarchaeological perspective’.
The objective of this first meeting is to have an overview of the zooarchaeology of the Western Empire, in which parallels and differences between regions will be highlighted. The discussion will consider both geographic and cultural specificities, as well as shared characters, of different areas of the Empire.
Both regional syntheses and case studies are welcomed. A perspective that looks at changes between the Iron Age and the Roman period is appreciated, as well as a consideration on the effects of the decline of Roman influence and/or presence.
If you would like to participate, please, send an e-mail indicating the title and the abstract of your communication to [log in to unmask] prior to the 15th September 2014.
Abstracts should be written in English and do not exceed 250 words. Please, indicate the affiliation of each author.
You will find more information on the web page of the meeting: http://alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/exhibits/show/rpwg
Looking forward to meeting you in Sheffield,
Silvia Valenzuela and Umberto Albarella
