An international round table organized on May 4 and 5, 2019 at the University of Salahaddin (Erbil, Iraq) highlighted the interest for a collective work that will address the question of Christianity in Iraq at the turn of Islam. Les Presses de l’Ifpo launch a call for papers related to this theme.

From quarries to rock-cut sites. Echoes of stone crafting

The conference aims at carrying on the international debate on the archaeological investigation of rock-cut spaces and stone quarries, considered as aspects of the same mining phenomenon: places in which specific empirical and handcrafted knowledge related to stone working is expressed and conveyed. The conference envisages a diachronic approach and therefore all case studies are welcome, without chronological limits.

Hagnos, Miasma and Katharsis

A journey between the categories of the pure and impure in the imagination of the ancient world

Le colloque international « Hagnos, Miasma, Katharsis. Voyage entre les catégories du pur et de l’impur dans l’imaginaire du monde ancien » (Cagliari, 4-6 mai 2016) propose une mise au point sur les études consacrées aux phénomènes du pur et de l’impur et à leur exégèse antique. La réflexion autour de ce thème privilégiera une approche interdisciplinaire, tenant compte des perspectives iconographique, littéraire, anthropologique et historico-religieuse, afin d’encourager une confrontation et un dialogue élargis entre les spécialistes de cette question cruciale pour comprendre les mentalités antiques.

Art history for artists: interactions between scholarly discourse and artistic practice in the 19th century

The conference seeks to examine the shaping of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century in relation to artistic training and exchanges between artists and scholars. The development of art history has been associated with an array of socio-political and economic factors such as the formation of a bourgeois public, the politics of national identity and state legitimacy or the needs of an expanding art market. This conference aspires to explore yet another, less studied dimension: the extent to which the historical study of art was also rooted in an intention to inform contemporary artistic production.

The study of manufactured objects in medieval archaeology and the study of illuminated manuscripts

Methodologies compared

O objetivo deste workshop é comparar, por meio da análise de alguns casos específicos, os métodos científicos utilizados no estudo dos manuscritos iluminados (história da arte) e dos artefactos encontrados no âmbito da arqueologia medieval. Em ambas as áreas os contextos de criação e utilização dos objectos são fundamentais para a sua caracterização e compreensão. A partir de casos específicos tentar-se-á traçar semelhanças e diferenças nos métodos de análise que caracterizam as duas disciplinas históricas. Deste modo pretende-se compreender em que medida é possível adaptar e aplicar metodologias diversas de modo a obter um conhecimento mais profundo do objecto e do seu contexto.

Geoarchaeological research in the Black Sea and the Azov Sea

Since the first studies undertaken in 1783 by Gablitz on the chora of Chersonesos, the Black Sea comprises an important area to look at the rural and coastal development of the Greek colonial world. Systematic surveying of ditches and walls that line the western coast of Crimea, initiated within the framework of Catherine II’s Greek project, began several decades before the earliest excavations of the urban spaces in 1832. A decisive new step was made during the 1960s, when archaeological surveys provided fresh insights into the internal organization of several kleroi close to Chersonesos, Kerkinitis and Kalos Limen. Around the same time, in the western Black Sea, the first research on the territory of Istros began, complemented by numerous geomorphological studies of the neighbouring Danube Delta. The foundations of geoarchaeological inquiry had been laid, and these have since been added to thanks to recent research undertaken throughout the Pontic area.

Archaeological sciences summer school

The purpose of the course is to expose students to interdisciplinary research that involves archaeology and the natural sciences in the field. The students will experience interactive work that combines excavation and analysis of materials using an on-site laboratory. The course will emphasize the inter-connection between laboratory analyses and the archaeological context, and will include fieldwork, laboratory work, and lectures.

The archaic fortifications of Latium vetus and western Etruria (9th-6th century BC)

Stratigraphy, chronology and urbanisation

L’incontro sarà dedicato alla cronologia delle più antiche fortificazioni delle città storiche nel Latium vetus e nell’Etruria meridionale, ed al processo di strutturazione dei centri urbani in questi territori all’inizio del primo millenio a.C. La riflessione includerà confronti con il mondo greco, l’Iberia e l’Europa centrale.

Medieval copper, bronze and brass – Dinant-Namur 2014

History, archaeology and archaeometry of the production of brass, bronze and other copper alloy objects in medieval Europe (12th-16th centuries)

This symposium is organised in a town whose main medieval activity was focused on the metallurgy of copper and brass. Its aim is to present current knowledge of not only the medieval products, techniques, workshops and labour force, but also of the market and trade in these products. This symposium will present the research carried out in history and archaeology of materials and processes with, in some cases, the support of scientific studies.

Rural Archeology and Rural History (Middle Ages – Modern era)

2nd Rural History Summer School

“Rural Archaeology and Rural History – Middle Ages – Modern era” The theme chosen for this 2013 edition of the Rural History Summer School will allow us to consider the relationship between rural archeology and history. More than the oppositions, it seems it is the relationships, the combinations and the intertwining of disciplines, that need to be questioned through the different scientific traditions in Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy). This European overview will be the major focus of this 2013 summer school. The emphasis will also be put on the recent development of post-medieval archaeology, practiced in England and Italy for example, but still embryonic in several European countries. The interrogations will dwell on rescue and commercial Archeology and on its methods and results.

Climatic, environmental and social dimensions of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the Mediterranean

Special issue of Méditerranée (2014)

This special issue will look at the climatic, environmental and social dimensions of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the Mediterranean, between the second half of the 13th to 19th centuries.

الأركيلوجيا الوسيطية بالمغرب بين النص التاريخي والعمل الميداني

Premier congrès national sur l'archéologie islamique au Maroc

عرف البحث الأثري المغربي حول الفترة الإسلامية طفرة متميزة خلال العقدين الأخيرين، ساهم فيها إحداث المعهد الوطني لعلوم الآثار والتراث كمؤسسة وطنية مختصة، وبفتح وحدات بحث ببعض الجامعات المغربية صبت اهتمامها على عدد من المواضيع الأكاديمية المتعلقة بالعمارة والفنون والمواقع الإسلامية، من بينها دراسات معمارية وفنية همت معالم ذات وظائف مختلفة حضرية وقروية، وأبحاث ميدانية تمحورت حول إشكاليات تهم مدنا مندرسة ومواقع محصنة واستغلاليات وورشات إنتاجية، منها ما يرتبط بالمجال الزراعي (السقي وتوزيع المياه)، ومنها ما يرتبط بالصناعة والتجارة والحرف، ومنها ما يرتبط بهما معا (زراعة قصب السكر وإنتاجه). كما انكبت أبحاث ميدانية أخرى على دراسة مجالات شاسعة، معتمدة في ذلك على تقنيات المسح الأثري، بقصد فهم آليات الاستقرار البشري خلال الفترة الإسلامية، والاستغلال المجالي وتنظيمه بمناطق عديدة من المغرب الوسيطي والحديث، وكذا محاولة التوصل إلى معطيات علمية تساعد على فهم التطور العمراني أو تراجعه خلال مختلف الحقب التي مر بها المغرب
