Title:
Earthen architecture and habitation sites: building ways of life in prehistory.
Content:
Research on prehistoric architecture has a long tradition as mean of approaching socioeconomic and cultural aspects of human communities. Framed in this context, prehistoric earthen architecture has emerged as a relevant topic in the last decade not only to empirically analyse the material remains founded in the archaeological record, but as fundamental data to reconstruct the use of the space in prehistoric ways of life. This session is a part of Réseau Terre activities, Group working on earthern architecture.
This session is intended to be an international forum to bring together results presentation, discussion and analytical programs on individuals case studies or regional synthesis, related to earthen architecture during late Prehistory in a broad sense of the term (Neolithic to Iron age). Geographically and culturally, the session is open to all researchers working on different regions such as those of the Mediterranean areas (East Mediterranean, Western Mediterranean) as well as continental Europe. It is expected that in addition to descriptive architectural analysis, other methodological approaches such as geoarcheology, geochemistry, bioarchaeology, ethnoarchaeology or experimental archaeology, as well as interdisciplinary analysis, are incorporated.
Altogether, contributions should enhance our knowledge about the identification, interpretation, preservation and restoration of earthen architecture.
