  Conference, symposium - History

  Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia

  Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives

  This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.

  Landscape archaeology. Egypt and th Mediterranean world

  Le colloque international de géoarchéologie du Caire sera consacré à l’Égypte, et de manière plus générale à l’espace méditerranéen. Dans l’optique de l’étude des relations homme / environnement, cette réunion scientifique s’intéresse aux dynamiques du Nil, axe majeur du paysage égyptien, et leurs conséquences sur les espaces périphériques (littoraux, plaines alluviales, déserts, wadis tributaires). La thématique est élargie à l’ensemble des milieux méditerranéens afin de proposer des exemples complémentaires à ceux du territoire égyptien.
