Collaboration and discussion
Since decades geoarchaeology has been key for interpreting both landscape-wide and site-specific phenomena in archaeology. Also amongst the Leiden archaeological community, many people apply methods from this discipline in their research. Ranging from geophysics to micromorphology, there is both expertise as well as interest in geoarchaeology present at our faculty. We believe that this presents an exciting opportunity for collaboration and discussion.
Activities in geoarchaeology
Colleagues who work in this field are spread over the different departments and most are unaware of who shares their interests. Currently, at our faculty, no geoarchaeology discussion group is established to foster such discussion and collaboration. As keen users of geoarchaeological methods ourselves, we are curious to discover who in the faculty is active in the field and which methods are employed in which research contexts by members of our community.
Call for presentations
We would like to invite all interested members of staff for an afternoon session on Friday, November 9th, 2018 to discover who at our faculty employs, or has an interest in geoarchaeology. Two invited experts will discuss the role of geoarchaeology in archaeological research. We also kindly invite anyone who is active in the field to deliver a short (<5 min) presentation on their work. This will hopefully pave the ground for further networking and collaboration in the future.
