We welcome papers covering any time period that explore the interplay between people and environments, not just as drivers of environmental change, but as embedded agents, reacting and adapting through practical and social actions. We also invite contributions that consider peripheral spaces within archaeological sites, settlements and landscapes, where environmental evidence can inform on the activities within these liminal areas.
Agenda
Keynote speakers: Professor Kate Britton (University of Aberdeen), Fraser Brown (Oxford Archaeology), and Professor Jacqui Mulville (Cardiff University)
Presentation formats: Oral presentations (20 minutes), lightning presentations (5 minutes), and posters (A1).
