New Data, Methods, and Theories on the Production and Consumption of African Red Slip Ware

Constraints and Sources of Innovation in Research
The visualization of archaeological results can clarify, while at the same time also obscure ; walking the line of simplification for public consumption, disagreements or misunderstandings among experts and color codes/omissions can blur the lines of where exactly uncertainty lies. Yet these constraints stimulate invention, participation, and new data. Sharing research findings with a general audience may result in oversimplification, while visualizing 3D models or other visual aids can lead to misunderstandings among experts. The limitations of visualization, such as colour coding, the omission of details, and inadequate information can lead to overanalysis, obscure uncertainty or skew tentative conclusions.

On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals
Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives
This event aims to assess the current state of research on the identification of individuals in prehistoric archaeology, exploring methods to identify individuals from archaeological remains, whether lithic materials or other types of artifacts. It will also discuss the advantages, limitations, and future potential of these approaches, while considering what insights they can provide about the social and economic organization of past societies.

Arts and Media Archaeology Summer School 2026
Living Histories
The Summer School will focus on the interplay between media developments and performative culture, spanning from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Through lectures, artist talks, re-enactments and interactive hands-on experimentation, the summer school programme aims to foster students’ ability to think through media by questioning their materiality, sensory properties, and its role as a historical source.

Quarries and rock-cut sites through the lens of archaeology
The two-day conference, organised by the IRAAR group, will take place at the University of Edinburgh (UK). This conference explores the multifaceted relationships between humans and stone through an archaeological lens on quarrying, rock-cut architecture/site, and rock art. By addressing challenges of extraction, technological adaptation, and symbolic and practical engagements with rock, as well as heritage and recent research, the event fosters interdisciplinary dialogue on the transformation of rocky landscapes across time and space.

Bologna
The call for papers is now open for the new edition of the Intersections series, dedicated to the cross-disciplinary nature of urban history and the dialogue between disciplines, methods and perspectives of study. The 2026 seminar will focus on the city as seen by archaeologists: not only the ancient or medieval city, but all forms and temporalities of the urban dimension — from abandonment to processes of transformation, from continuities to industrial and contemporary landscapes.

Transnational Research for a Wider Impact
The Role of Cultural Heritage in a Changing World
This event synthesizes the findings from 22 transnational research projects to explore the societal impact of cultural heritage research through five interconnected thematic axes. The first axis examines methodological innovations in digital heritage, analyzing the transformative potential of technologies such as AI, virtual modeling, and advanced data analytics in research and protection. The second investigates participatory and co-creative frameworks for community engagement, assessing their role in sustaining heritage, reinforcing identity, and fostering social cohesion for sustainable development.

On both sides of the border: Muslims in Garb al-Andalus and Portugal during the Middle Ages
Hamsa: Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies – Monographic issue, #12 (2026)
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of Islamic studies in Portuguese lands. Archaeological campaigns and documentation-based research have brought to light valueable information about the Andalusian occupation in this area and the Muslim permanence under Christian rule, both as slaves and as mouros forros. The aim of this monographic issue is to serve as a compilation and new impetus for this research into the Muslim presence in Portuguese lands, both under the sphere of Andalusian influence (Garb al-Andalus) and under Christian rule (Portugal).

Third Space and Ancient World Studies
The Spatial Turn of the 1980’s shifted the attention of scholars in Humanities, Social, and Cultural Studies towards questions of human interaction with landscape and the physical environment. At the same time, the term space was defined as more than just physical places, rather, social spaces and the production of such in the context of human interaction became the leading research focus. This conference seeks to develop the research on spatial perception in ancient societies by gathering scholars of any discipline in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Sciences to discuss spatial concepts from their own disciplinary perspective.

Power, Society, and Territorial Dynamics in a Changing Italy (cent. 4th BC-1st AD)
Rome’s conquest of Italy wrecked the existing political environment. This struggle involved Greeks, peoples of Central Italy, Gauls, Etruscans, and shaped the Mediterranean world, giving the historical base on which our own was built. Yet, it remains not fully understood. Through a multidisciplinary analysis integrating archaeological and historical sources, this conference aims to investigate the transformation of power dynamics—military, economic, and social—and their impact on both urban centres and peripheral territories.
