  Administrative and Legal Documentation in Pre-colonial Africa and Beyond

  Fifth European Conference on African Studies (ECAS 5)

  Historians, anthropologists as well as specialists of various scholarly traditions are invited to reflect on the question of production, transmission and preservation of administrative and legal documentation in pre-colonial Africa. The aim of this panel is to foster dialogue between scholars working on non-narrative sources, whether land charters, weddings contracts, deeds, funerary inscriptions or other archival materials. Presentations of methodological issues rather than case-studies would facilitate a comparative approach leading to a renewed understanding of the social organizations that produced these documents.

  Tree Rings, Art and Archaeology

  L'Institut royal du patrimoine artistique (KIK-IRPA), avec la collaboration de l’Université de Liège, la Vrije Universtiteit Brussel, l’Université libre de Bruxelles et l’Association du patrimoine artistique, est heureux de vous inviter au colloque « Tree Rings, Art, Archæology » qui se tiendra à Bruxelles du 10 au 12 février 2010. Le thème de ce colloque international est la contribution de la dendrochronologie aux sciences humaines, dans une vision plus large que la seule datation du bois (détermination de l’origine du bois, écologie forestière, histoire du climat…). Il comprend des interventions non seulement de dendrochronologues mais aussi des utilisateurs des données dendrochronologiques, que sont les archéologues, les historiens, les historiens de l’art et les restaurateurs.
