Dear Zooarchers,
Apologies for any cross posting.
We are delighted to announce the call for paper for our workshop Historical questions - zooarchaeological answers, held at the University of Amsterdam on December 12th 2019. This is the second joint workshop co-organized by the University of Amsterdam and the University of Groningen exploring new developments in method and theory in zooarchaeology.
This year’s theme:
The sub-field of zooarchaeology has reached maturity in the last 50 years and now informs all fields of archaeological inquiry, from the distant prehistoric past, to forensic investigations of recent faunal remains. The aim of this workshop is to explore the particular challenges that are posed when working on historically documented time periods. Does the presence of textual sources make our lives as specialist researchers easier? Or simply complicate our interpretations of faunal remains?
We are seeking papers that explore human animal interactions and relationships from a variety of perspectives demonstrating the opportunities as well as the potential pitfalls that arise when one attempts to combine archaeological data with evidence from documentary and or epigraphic sources.
Our call for papers is open to anyone working within the zooarchaeological field that combines zooarchaeological data with any form of documentary history.
Paper abstracts can be submitted online at https://sites.google.com/view/histzooarch2019 or send to [log in to unmask] before the 25th October 2019. Abstracts should be no longer than 200 words. Accepted papers should be no longer than 25 minutes in length.
For any questions please contact us at [log in to unmask]
Best wishes,
The organizers
