Call for Papers on “Advances in modelling past human ecosystems”

Eleftheria Paliou and Andreas Angourakis from the University of Cologne are organizing a workshop on socio-ecological modelling in archaeology.

The workshop will take place in Cologne between 22nd and 24th of May 2024.

This workshop invites papers on archaeological computational models that seek to take fuller into account advancements shaping the current discourse in socio-ecological research. We are particularly interested in approaches to simulation modelling that gain insights from Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge. We also encourage contributions that explore the socio-ecological dynamics of resource use, depletion and renewal and in interdisciplinary eco-archaeological approaches that bring together ethnoarchaeology, archaeological science methods, and computational modelling. 

The workshop is linked to a planned special journal issue and invites papers on archaeological computational models that seek to take fuller into account advancements shaping the current discourse in socio-ecological research. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered for all paper presenters.

Please send your extended abstracts (max. 1000 words) to Andreas Angourakis (aangourauni-koeln.de) by February 2nd, 2024.
