After many years of little or no work, research into the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture in the eastern part of the Fertile Crescent has begun to gather pace. This research is contributing to a more diverse and heterogeneous picture of late Pleistocene and early Holocene hunter-gatherer, cultivator and farmer lifestyles across southwest Asia. This, in turn, poses new questions for our understanding of the Neolithisation process.
We would like to warmly invite colleagues to Copenhagen to present and discuss results from recent and ongoing research into the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic periods in the eastern Fertile Crescent. The conference remit is intended to be broad. We therefore welcome fieldwork reports, scientific studies (archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological, palaeoenvironmental etc.), as well as more synthetic or theoretical papers. Submissions by PhD students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged.
The conference is organized by the Center for the Study of Early Agricultural Societies at the University of Copenhagen, the Department of Archaeology at Razi University and the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and sponsored by the C.L. David Foundation.
It will take place from 17 – ۲۰ August 2020 at the University of Copenhagen. There is no registration fee, but please note that places are limited and registration is necessary. To register, please go to https://hum.nemtilmeld.dk/37/
Abstracts of contributions should be no more than 300 words in length and must include a title, names of all authors and their affiliations, as well as contact details of the presenting author. Deadline for abstract submission is 31. January 2020. Please submit your abstract by email to Dr. Anna Razeto (wbv799@hum.ku.dk).
A small number of travel bursaries are available for PhD students who wish to present a paper, but who have no access to funding to attend the conference. Please send an email to wbv799@hum.ku.dk (Dr. Anna Razeto, conference administrator) to enquire about financial assistance.
