Landscape Archaeology Conference 2016 23rd-25th August, Uppsala University

Landscape Archaeology Conference 2016

Tuesday 23rd – Thursday 25th August 2016

The 4th International Landscape Archaeology Conference will be hosted by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. It will be held at Uppsala University, the oldest university in Scandinavia - founded in 1477 - on 23-25 of August, 2016.

Following previous conferences held in Amsterdam (2010), Berlin (2012) and Rome (2014), the aim of the LAC2016 conference is to provide a platform for cmblogwatch archaeologists, anthropologists, human and physical geographers, earth scientists and researchers from cognate disciplines to present and discuss results, methods and theories around the broad fields of landscape archaeology, landscape research more generally, and historical ecology. The conference aspires to cross conventional divides between nature and culture, mind and matter, and to bring together perspectives on landscapes past and present from the humanities and social and environmental sciences.

Questions regarding abstract submission should be sent to the secretariat at lac2016@arkeologi.uu.se

For questions regarding other matters (e.g. exhibition, venues, and general information) please contact Professor Paul Lane at paul.lane@arkeologi.uu.se

We look forward to seeing you in Uppsala in August 2016.

Paul Lane

Professor of Global Archaeology
