Next week will start the Landscape Archaeology Conference that will take place in Alcará de Henares (Madrid, Spain) from the 10-14th of June. This year’s theme is focused on Human challenges in a context of changing landscapes. GIAP has 13 contributions to the conference, all of them presented by our researchers, and leading one of the sessions. We have a diverse range of contributions that exemplify the interdisciplinary nature of our research group:
