CALL FOR PAPER

The study of agricultural terraces has emerged as a reinvigorated area of archaeological study that has important links with culture, society and economy today. This has occurred due to new techniques ranging from Lidar,  improved dating techniques (esp. optically stimulated luminescence), to ancient DNA. We invite short papers from any area of study of past and present agricultural terraces that have relevance to archaeology, heritage management and sustaiability science. Areas of interest include survey & remote sensing, geophysics of terraces, geochronology, palaeoecology including ancient DNA, erosion risk and heritage management.

Registration will be free on a first come basis, and the meeting will last all day with an evening reception. Posters are also possible, and so is attendance without either a talk or poster.

To express interest and register for the meeting and, if appropriate, a talk or poster title, please email Dan.Fallu@uit.no or Tony Brown at antony.g.brown@uit.no.

Deadline: 6 October 2023
