Workshop: Impacts on Transportation - costs, politics, and archaeological evidence
17.-18.04.2015, Bonn, Germany

Since prehistory commodities were carried from one place to another as part of commercial exchange, or in means of raw material supply for the community. The way in which they were brought to their destination was dependent upon several issues. 

Three aspects of transport shall be discussed in greater detail to further our understanding of influential factors and to enlighten the transfer of immaterial goods that might accompany exchanged commodities.

Main aspects dealt with in the workshop are: 

Cost estimation
These charges play a decisive role in the analysis of economic networks. They are relevant to determining location factors of production facilities and to estimating the value of commodities for a society. It is supposed that costs of transport are dependent on at least five factors: distance, topography, surface consistency (water, wood land, swampland, desert etc.), the type and form of goods to (e.g. weight, size, fragility), and the mode of transport available.

Political influence
The objective of the second session is to motivate an interdisciplinary discussion on the effects of political changes on transport in Europe. The main focus will be on the transport of large-scale commodities, such as wood, and whether its organisational structure changes according to political shifts. This includes topics such as what rearrangements result in local, regional, and supra-regional trade, and if there are any variations in the generated costs. Or does everything remain unchanged? Additional papers may also concern the impact of large-scale construction projects and restrictions on the flow of these goods. 

Immaterial goods
The last session engages with the transfer of knowledge in terms of technologies, customs, and ideologies. Knowledge can be transmitted from one place to another in a limited period or be handed down through time. Likewise, some phenomena seem to occur independently from one another at different places at the same time or at the same places in different periods. What factors cause the adaptation of knowledge? For discussing this purpose, case studies are welcome that illustrate one or more circumstances leading to the same result and vice versa.

The general aim of the workshop is to highlight different aspects of transportation and parameters that have impact on it. At the same time it aims to address what immaterial commodities are – deliberately intended or not – transferred and why. 

The organizing committee invites young researchers, doctoral and master candidates to participate in the workshop to be held in Bonn. The committee is formed by doctoral candidates of the DFG research training groups “Archaeology of Pre-Modern Economies” and “Value and Equivalence”.

Please send abstracts from any archaeologically related discipline in English (about 200 words) and a short CV to the organizing committee by 31.01.2015. We wish for active involvement in the discussions following the papers at the end of each session.

The organizers encourage alternative presentation modes (e.g. 6-minutes-talk / pecha-kucha presentations); standard papers of max. 20 minutes length are also accepted.

No fees are required for participation.

Call for papers: Heroic Narratives and the Reshaping of History

Koppenhágában 2015. jún. 11-12 között Heroic Narratives and the Reshaping of History címmel konferenciát szerveznek. 
 
Részletek a felhívás szövegéből:

One of the most influential factors for preserving and propagating a collective identity is narrative traditions, especially the stories people relate when that identity is vulnerable. Through storytelling, people can construct fashion and interpret their world. They can confront their past and their contemporary situations and envision their future and by which means this future will come about.

Inspired by Eric Selbin’s model of the ‘Literature of Resistance’, the conference aims to discuss the possible narrative strategies by which Myth, Memory, and Mimesis are used as tools for shaping a collective identity. Here, myth signifies the body of stories through which a certain group of people relate their history, while collective memory refers to a movement within a cultural discourse that continuously combines and fuses the present and the past, fulfilling a social function in the cultural web in which it is integrated. Mimesis refers to a certain group’s inspiration by another – ancestors, contemporaries, or people in distant places and times – in making fundamental and transformational changes in their society.

Together, myth, memory, and mimesis are powerful aspects of historical narrativity, especially when those seeking change integrate cultural symbols, heroes, and myths into the semantics of a heroic narrative in an attempt to exercise cultural dominance and legitimacy.

It is our goal to bring together specialists from a wide range of disciplines who are working on literature and collective identity in the ancient and medieval world. The conference will offer an international platform for researchers, including doctoral students, to present their research to an international and diverse audience. We believe that such collaboration will stimulate discussion on strategies for historical narrative, and enable us to share ideas, and place the conference themes in the widest possible context.
 
The deadline for submitting an abstract for a proposed talk is 01 March 2015. Please limit the abstract to 300 words max. The proposals should take the following questions into consideration: 

Myth, memory, and mimesis as narrative tools in the heroic tale(s)


If such tools are not evident, which narrative tools are utilized to express a collective memory and identity in the text(s)?


What is the socio-political context that the narrative is addressing/reacting to?



What is the collective memory and identity expressed in the text?


How is it similar to/different from actual historical evidence?


Are there parallels to the text’s narrative tool(s) in other sources (i.e. mimesis/adaptation/copying)?


If so, what particular aspect of the narrative tool(s) made it applicable/adaptable in the text and why?

Each presentation is assigned a maximum of 30 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for Q&A.

CALL FOR PAPERS: ASOR Member-Organized Session:

The First Intermediate Period

American Schools of Oriental Research, Annual Meeting, Atlanta, GA, The InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel, November 18-21, 2015

Session Organizers:
Thomas Schneider (The University of British Columbia)
Felix Höflmayer (The Oriental Institute, University of Chicago)


The so-called First Intermediate Period of ancient Egypt continues to be one of the most controversially discussed periods of ancient Egyptian history. Gaps in the evidence available for historiographical reconstruction, the uncertainty about how to interpret a variety of textual sources, and new material evidence have as much led to widely different views as have modern paradigmatic shifts. In consequence, the FIP has been described variously as a time of calamity, or to the contrary, a time of cultural innovation. Diverse economic, political and environmental scenarios have been adduced to explain the end of the Old Kingdom and the genesis of the First Intermediate Period, a transition accordingly labeled a collapse, a decline, a revolution, or more vaguely, a time of crisis. This session will attempt to shed new light on this period and to suggest future ways of interpreting it in a more coherent way, including the new archaeological evidence from the current excavation of Tell Edfu (the first complete sequence of First Intermediate Period settlement layers at one significant urban site of ancient Egypt) as well as economic, social, historical, literary and historiographical approaches.


Interested speakers will need to submit a title and abstract
(max. 200 words)  by February 15, 2015.

People on the move
Framework, Means, and Impact of Mobility across the East Mediterranean Region in the 8th to 6th c. BCE

3–6 August 2015
Landgut Castelen (near CH-Basel)
Römerstiftung Dr. René Clavel
Giebenacherstrasse 9
4302 Augst BL
Switzerland

CALL FOR PAPERS: deadline 15 March 2015
We cordially invite proposals from junior as well as senior researchers. 
WEBSITE: https://aegyptologie.unibas.ch/forschung/tagungen/people-on-the-move/
CONTACT: peopleonthemove@unibas.ch

In the wake of the Kushite, Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian and early Achaemenid expansions to the East Mediterranean, cross-regional mobility of people and commodities increased significantly. This mobility not only affects the actual people who were leaving their homeland, its social community and the security of their cultural background for longer or even permanent stays abroad. It has also major impact on the communities left behind and those receiving the travelers on a visit or for long-term residence. During the workshop we will primarily discuss the following three aspects:

Section I is dedicated to issues enabling or impeding routes and modes of travel. 
Why were which routes and means of transport preferable to others? Which preparations are necessary? Who or which factors decided whether to leave or to stay? How were necessary stopovers organized? 

Section II will focus on the act of traveling and the travelers. 
Which motivations for traveling can be discerned? Is long-term emigration the aim or the result of traveling? Which routes were used? What could happen during the trip? Which kind of reception would one expect? 

Section III addresses the social implications both for the community from which people leave/emigrate and to which they move/travel/immigrate. How did communities cope with the loss of specialists or of comparatively large percentages of their inhabitants? How were travelers housed? How did this effect the receiving private or institutional households? How did local 'foreign' communities deal with the enhancement of their numbers? How did the decision to integrate oneself into their community or to keep one's distance effect these 'foreign' communities, the local society as a whole, and the policy towards 'foreigners'?

The geographical range covers the Great Area of the East Mediterranean Region including modern-day Greece, Turkey, Eastern Libya and Egypt as well as the East Mediterranean islands and the area between the eastern Mediterranean coast and the Zagros mountains. 

Papers and posters dealing with cross-regional travels and addressing combinations of natural, economic, administrative, political or personal issues are especially welcome. For a preliminary schedule visit the workshop website.

Tisztelt Tagtársak!

Az MTA BTK által felügyelt és az Akadémiai Kiadó által megjelentetett nemzetközi ókortudományi folyóirat egyik fontos feladata, hogy segítse a magyar kutatók tudományos eredményeinek külföldi megismertetését. A folyóirat évente 26 szerzői ív terjedelemben jelenik meg mintegy 480 oldalon (4 füzetben). A beérkezett tanulmányok publikálásáról két szakértő kutató bírálata alapján (a bírálati eljárás anonim) születik végleges döntés, ami óhatatlanul szükséges a folyóirat színvonalának megőrzéséhez. 2014. áprilisától új szerkesztőség vette át a folyóirat megjelenése körüli teendőket, amelynek legelső feladata az volt, hogy a folyóirat egyéves lemaradását behozza. Ezt a célt az elmúlt hónapok munkája révén sikerült elérni: jelenleg a teljes 2014-es évfolyam anyaga együtt van, és már a 2015-ös évfolyam kapacitása is le van kötve tanulmányokra. Mindezek azzal a reménnyel bíztatnak, hogy a 2016-os évtől kezdődően a folyóirat számai az előzetesen kigondolt menetrend szerint évente négy alkalommal fognak megjelenni (március, június, szeptember és december 1-jén). Ez egyben azt is jelenti, hogy jelenleg már a 2014-es és 2015-ös évfolyamokon is túl kell tekinteni. Ennek értelmében arra kérem a tisztelt tagtársakat, az Acta Antiqua régi vagy reménybeli szerzőit, hogy kéziratukat a tervezett megjelenés előtt fél évvel juttassák el a folyóirat e-mailcímére, mivel nagyjából ennyi idő kell ahhoz, hogy a tanulmányok a szakmai és nyelvi ellenőrzés, majd szerkesztés után megjelenhessenek. Aki tehát a 2016-os év első füzetében szeretné megjelenni látni tanulmányát, 2015. augusztus 31-éig küldje meg számunkra a tanulmányát. (Recenziót, ismertetést három hónappal korábban is elég eljuttatni.)
Arra is mindenképpen föl kívánom hívni a figyelmet, hogy a jövőben szeretnénk több tematikus számot is megjelentetni. Arról, hogy milyen témák köré csoportosulnak majd az egyes füzetek, a jövő év során adunk majd tájékoztatást. Ugyanakkor igyekszünk megkönnyíteni az itthon tartott nemzetközi konferenciák anyagának publikálását is, így szívesen veszünk minden ezirányú megkeresést.

Tudománytörténet (holland szemszögből)

Akit érdekel a tudománytörténet (mint mondjuk engem), az biztosan örül, hogy a neves leideni(-isztambuli) NINO 75. éves születésnapja kapcsán megjelent egy kötet, amely a holland ókori keleti-egyiptológiai kutatás történetét foglalja össze (valamint tartalmaz egy kitekintést a most is folyó ásatásokra). Igaz, hollandul, de németül tudóknak ez nem fog problémát jelenti, a honlapjukon egyébként egy kis részletet le is lehet tölteni, így mindenki tesztelheti magának.

European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) 2015 Meeting
Glasgow, 2-5 September 2015
Session Theme: Reconfiguring Identities

Phrygian identities, identifying Phrygia (Session ID RI24)

Organisers:
Catherine M. Draycott, Durham University/University of Liverpool
Yasemin Özarslan, Koç University
Prof. Hakan Sivas, Anadolu Üniversitesi

Over the past few decades the archaeology of Phrygia has seen important new developments. Explorations at Gordion, identified as the central seat of the Iron Age Kingdom of Phrygia have readjusted the stratigraphy, showing overlaps of Hittite and Phrygian period occupation, and dramatically moving the heyday of the site back to the 9th century BC.  Surveys at the same site are expanding understanding of the site’s limits and later occupation, while those in the Phrygian Highlands to the West have discovered new monuments from various periods. The discovery of Phrygian inscriptions and new sculptures at the site of Kerkenes Dağ east of the Kızılırmak River (the ancient Halys) has expanded the territory thought to have been occupied by Phrygian speaking groups.

Although new discoveries have been rich, however, so far there has been little overall consideration of approaches to Phrygia and Phrygian culture as larger concepts. Usually considered to be immigrants from the Balkans, who entered Anatolia at around the turn of the first millennium BC, this origin ‘myth’ sets up notions of ethnic purity and cultural contiguity that continue to inform Phrygian archaeology. Are Phrygians a ‘pure’ race? How does one identify ‘Phrygians’ and define ‘Phrygian culture’? Is it consistent and stable or does it change over time and space? How are definitions of Phrygia and Phrygians entangled with modern notions of national and ethnic identity?

This session invites speakers (established, early career and graduate students) to collectively address these and related questions. Papers may address theoretical approaches and problems in the identification and definition of ‘Phrygia’ and ‘Phrygians’; the concept of pan-Phrygian culture; and/or regional variations particular to local conditions, which nuance the term ‘Phrygian’.

Interested presenters should submit proposals for 20 minute-long papers online through the EAA website.

The language of the session is English. Please contact the organisers if you would like help with presenting in English.

The deadline for the online submissions is 16 February 2015.  Due to the online method of submission, late proposals unfortunately cannot be accepted.  

Notification of acceptance of papers will be on 10 April.  

Further information about the EAA 2015 Meeting can be found on the website.
