This weekend, Alexandra Kriti and Alexandra Livarda will participate in two events, presenting the preliminary results on the experimental pyres, real-life charring experiments that took place in Crete a few months ago, in the context of Kriti’s PhD thesis and the DarkRevisited project.
First, Alexandra Kriti presented in a two-day workshop in the context of the TEFRA project. She presented the talk: “Experimental Approaches to Archaeobotany”. The workshop was mainly focused on dissemination of results for people who are interested in or related to the TEFRA project and the experimental pyres.
Then, Alexandra Livarda presented a keynote presentation at the 6th International Conference of ScapeCon “Contextualising Fire in Aegean Prehistory“, a postgraduate and early career scholar’s annual conference that this year is organised by the University of Thessaloniki. She presented: “Archaeobotany in the Aegean or how fire has conditioned our knowledge of past practices related to plants”
