The 2022 international meeting of the EAA (European Association of Archaeologists) is being held from 31 Aug to 3 Sept in Budapest.
Among several other ICAC contributions, GIAP (ICAC) researcher Alfredo Mayoral co-leads session #230 with André-Marie Dendievel (Univ. Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, ENTPE, CNRS, UMR 5023 LEHNA).
September 1st 2022, 14.00-18.00h CET
Session #230: SEDIMENT AND SOIL ARCHIVES TO DECIPHER HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS IN WETLAND LANDSCAPES FROM THE NEOLITHIC TO THE XXTH CENTURY
Theme: 5. Climate Change and Socioenvironmental Perspectives
Organisers: Mayoral, Alfredo (ICAC – Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology) – Dendievel, André-Marie (Univ Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, ENTPE, CNRS, UMR 5023 LEHNA)
This session focusses on the use of soils and sediments to decipher the interactions between climate, paleoenvironments and past societies in wetland landscapes. This approach relies on the collection and processing of geoarchaeological or paleoecological data to reconstruct socio-environmental changes in diverse cultural and chronological contexts. We propose to challenge the intercomparison of multidisciplinary data by discussing how multi-proxy analyses of soil and sediment archives from wetlands can be combined with archaeological data in order to reconstruct long-term trajectories of socio-ecosystems –and the resulting cultural landscapes– from the Neolithic to the XXth century.
The contributions combine archaeological studies (excavation, surveys, historical data) with a broad analytical panel of sedimentary archives (from field geomorphology and paleopedology to physico-chemical characterization and microscopic approaches).
Alfredo Mayoral will also present in this session:
(17:15 h) “A geoarchaeological tale of two cities: Palaeogeography, socio-environmental interaction and coastal landscape evolution around Ancient Abdera (Thrace, Greece)”. Alfredo Mayoral (Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology, GIAP), Ana Ejarque (ISEM, Univ.
