NABO 2022 Collaborative Meeting, Reykjavik 28-30 September

Thanks to an initiative by Orri Vésteinsson and the University of Iceland, we are launching a three-day collaborative NABO meeting Sept. 28th, 29th, and 30th 2022 in Reykjavik Iceland. This will be a hybrid event, but we hope to have significant live participation.

The three day NABO 2022 Collaborative Meeting was recorded and you can access the talks using the links below. Each talk has been divided into chapters so you can go straight to a particular talk:

Our theme for September 28tj and 29th will be "North Atlantic Works Back in Progress" with the aim of both reporting on new work in the lab and field and looking ahead to ongoing collaborations and new digital tools for data management and community engagement. We anticipate overviews of new and renewed projects and initiatives with field and lab results from across our region and overviews of exciting new interdisciplinary initiatives.

We will have both traditional 15-minute talks and a set of 5 minute "lightning round" presentations that may be a supplement or substitute for posters. We invite presentations for Sept 28-29th we and are very friendly to early career researchers.

The 30th is a special session organized by Orri on "Sticks and Stones in North Atlantic Archaeology" and will feature new work in archaeobotany, geoarchaeology, zooarchaeology, human bioarchaeology and artifact analyses. This is a separate but allied session, and all are invited (live or virtual).

Contact Tom McGovern (thomas.h.mcgovern@gmail.com) if you are interested in participating and let us know if you can come to lovely Iceland or will be an online visitor only. Please provide a preliminary title and author list and a short 100 word summary

A draft program will be circulated by early September, so please contact us soon if you want to be included.

Association of Environmental Archaeology

Autumn Conference 2017

Grand Challenge Agendas in Environmental Archaeology

University of Edinburgh (UK), 1-3 December 2017

How do we approach today’s great themes in international environmental archaeology? How will this feed into the next research agenda? What are environmental archaeology’s grand challenges? ‘Grand challenges for archaeology’ have recently been proposed to focus the disciplines efforts and capabilities on the most important scientific challenges (Kintigh et al. 2014, PNAS 111, 879-80). Those identified focus on investigating the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, addressing key questions of emergence, complexity, demography, mobility, identity, resilience, and human-environment interactions. Environmental archaeology is ideally situated to contribute directly to these challenges, concerned, as it is, with the human ecology of the past – the relationship between past human populations and their physical, biological and socio-economic environments – through the analysis and interpretation of animal and plant remains within the depositional environment of the archaeological site and its surrounds. These approaches allow analysis of the dynamics of socio-ecological systems at varying spatial and temporal scales. Combined with the continued advancement of scientific methodological applications this is enabling increasingly powerful insights into human paleoecology, for example via analyses of palaeodiets, disease ecology, and past climatic change. Particular challenges lie in how to integrate data generated from diverse methodological approaches, and how to model and test cultural and ecological agency in the past, and how to tap the full potential that lies in increasingly large and disparate datasets being generated by the different practitioners of environmental archaeology. Public and fiscal responsibility also challenges environmental archaeological research to contribute to debates of relevance to the modern world, with its important potential insights on human-environment interactions, biodiversity, food security, and societal resilience.

Association of Environmental Archaeology

This conference seeks to explore the grand challenge agendas for environmental archaeology that confront its methods, approaches, contributions and relevance, including (but not limited to):

  • the ways in which the discipline can contribute to the major research foci of archaeology
  • advances in method, and integration of methods, that are permitting more robust and nuanced insights in these areas
  • approaches to modelling and testing past socio-ecological relationships, and exploring issues of cause and effect in these systems
  • the ways in which environmental archaeological research is relevant and contributes to the contemporary world

The organising committee invites oral and poster presentations that examine these themes. We are particularly keen to encourage comparative research that show how regional case studies can make essential contributions to globally-important questions, or indeed help to shape them and set new agendas for research.

Please send proposals for papers and posters to AEA2017@ed.ac.uk by Friday 29 September 2017. Abstracts should be sent as Word documents, be a maximum of 200 words and contain a clear description of the topic. Please include a title, complete name(s) of author(s), affiliation(s), and full postal and email addresses.

Conference organisers:

Dr Robin Bendrey, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh
Prof Andrew Dugmore, School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh
Dr Eva Panagiotakopulu, School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh
Dr Xavier Rubio-Campillo, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh

Understanding the Human Dimensions of Long-term Environmental Change: Transformations of Iceland from the Viking Era through the late Medieval Period (CE 850-1500)

A unique graduate course in integrated Environmental Humanities and Scoeial Sciences will take place at Bárðardalur, Northern Iceland between the 5-15th June 2015. The Svartarkot Culture-Nature intensive graduate summer course (7.5 ECTS) Understanding the Human Dimensions of Long-term Environmental Change is co-organized by The Reykjavik Academy, City University of New York and Mid Sweden University, in close cooperation with NABO (The North Atlantic Biocultural Organisation), NIES (The Nordic Network for Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies), GHEA (The Global Human Ecodynamics Alliance) and the Circumpolar Networks case of IHOPE. The course is accredited by University of Akureyri.

The deadline for applications is March 15, 2015.

Aimed at masters and doctoral-level study, this summer course based on the Northern edge of the Icelandic highland wilderness addresses questions of long-term societal resilience in the face of climate change, competition and societal conflict over natural resources, effects of early globalization and anthropogenic transformation of landscapes and ecosystems at multiple times scales. Building upon the successful course Environmental Memory and Change in Medieval Iceland organized in August 2014, the 2015 course involves multiple excursions and lectures in the field and integrates perspectives, theories and methodologies from multiple disciplines in the environmental humanities and social sciences. The course focuses chiefly on human dimensions of long-term environmental change with the aid of innovative digital humanities tools and outputs, close reading of medieval documentary and literary sources in translation and reviews of the latest archeological and palaeoecological research and field work in Northern Iceland. All course lectures, readings, discussions and writing will be in English.


Historical Ecology: The Next Generation

Together with IHOPE, the research node Mind and Nature at Uppsala University announces a call for papers for a student-focused workshop on Historical Ecology: The Next Generation in Uppsala, Sweden. The workshop, to take place November 12-13 2014, will provide early stage researchers a venue to discuss their perspectives on the study of human-environment interactions over the longue duree. Students in earth and social sciences and humanities are encouraged to present their own research applying aspects of historical ecological analysis. The event aims to generate conversation regarding historical ecology's future as a theoretical framework for addressing interrelationships among societies, environments, and climates. More information can be found here.

Interested participants are invited to submit an abstract for an oral presentation by September 30 2014.


Svartárkot Symposium 2014

Environmental Change and Stewardship in the Circumpolar North

Bárðardalur, Iceland

2-16 August 2014


SAGES - HaNOA workshop

‘Geomorphological change and the ‘lost harbours’ of the Middle Ages’

Wednesday 12th February 2014 9am-1pm

Old Library, Geography Building, School of GeoSciences, Drummond Street, University of Edinburgh

In mainland Europe almost every important early medieval harbour developed into a town or city, but the situation in the far North Atlantic is very different. A network of enigmatic abandoned harbours exists across the North Atlantic and western Norway. The Harbours in the North Atlantic project (HaNOA) is a multi-disciplinary, multi-national project which aims to investigate the causes of abandonment of these harbours. The identification of these sites is frequently uncertain and the reasons why established harbours fell into disuse are also not clear- changing trade, economic and political influence, weather, geomorphology and boat design could all be contributory factors.

The SAGES-HaNOA workshop aims to capitalise on the opportunities being created by HaNOA to develop new collaborations within SAGES and promote integration between HaNOA, the Scottish Archaeology and the Problem of Erosion Trust (SCAPE) and Scotland's Coastal Heritage at Risk Project (SCHARP).

The workshop is co-convened by John Preston and Andy Dugmore (University of Edinburgh), Jim Hansom (University of Glasgow) and Tom Dawson (University of St Andrews).

If you are interested in attending and would like to be put on a mailing list for further details please contact John Preston (john.preston@ed.ac.uk) by Friday 31st January.

Further details available here.

8th International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS VIII)

Climate Change, Migration and Economic Transformations in the High Medieval to Early Modern North

22-26 May 2014

UNBC, Prince George, British Columbia

Session Organizers: Jón Haukur Ingimundarson & George Hambrecht

Deadline for abstracts: December 17th.

Conference website.

The Medieval Warm period witnessed extensive migration of peoples and communities within and into the regions of the Circumpolar North and involved significant changes in culture and subsistence technology and the creation of new settlements and societies. During the ensuing “Little Ice Age” certain Arctic and sub-Arctic communities relocated or became extinct, while most societies developed a new set of survival strategies and altered modes of production, and in the early modern period, successive waves of European expansion into the Arctic – driven by southern interests in marine resources and furs, trade and tribute connections, exploration and Christianizing, and colonizing or moving to “frontier areas” – brought major population, political and cultural changes; lead to conflicts as well as trade intensification and subsistence revolutions among indigenous peoples; and involved newcomers’ formation of large trading companies and the emergence of peoples of mixed indigenous and European ancestry.

Focusing on the period between c. 1000 and 1800 CE, this session will address thus described processes and topics by featuring case studies as well as comparative studies of human habitation, culture and socio-ecological change in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Eurasia and North America, including islands of the North Pacific and the North Atlantic. http://resweb.res.unbc.ca/icass2014/session%20pdfs/ENCC3_revised22Oct2013.pdf

The Circumpolar Archaeological Record: Threats from Global Change

June 22-26 2011, ICASS VII Conference, Akureyri, Iceland

Details on the ICASS VII conference.

This session will focus on threats to the archeological record, particularly that in the circumpolar North, which are arising due to global climate change. Archaeological sites and the associated paleoecological record hold much of the data needed to understand the past, and to place human ecodynamics in the broad spatial and temporal perspective that is essential to developing a meaningful and actionable understanding of the topic. Such an understanding would seem to be vital for to efforts to support and increase sustainability and resilience in the face of changes which appear to be inevitable.

Global change-related threats include: increased coastal erosion (due to sea level rise, possible increases in number and/or strength of storms, and diminished sea ice in Polar regions), increased riverine erosion (due to increases in precipitation amount or intensity and increases in glacial melting), drying of waterlogged sites and bogs (due to hydrological changes), changes in land use which result in greater ground disturbance (due to changing conditions for agriculture or displacement of populations from more threatened areas). In northern areas the warming and thawing of permafrost is a major threat to the archaeological and paleoecological record.

We are interested in papers that describe threats, and in particular in papers that deal with ways to document, assess and monitor relative threats over broad areas, so that mitigation efforts can be prioritized. We are also interested in mitigation efforts, whether or not they proved to be successful. Although this is primarily a Northern conference, we welcome papers from those working in other areas of the world who share similar problems.

NABO

NABO Spring Meetings, Museum of Scotland and University of Edinburgh, March 24-26 2010

More details are available from the website.

On March 24th there will be a meeting to discuss artefacts and e-museum initiatives. Please note that the venue has changed to Room 3.04 Crew Building at the Kings Buildings , University of Edinburgh. The agenda is available here.

On March 25th there will be a meeting to discuss Isotopic Studies and North Atlantic Human Ecodynamics: Taking stock and looking forward hosted by the University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences. The focus will be research related to the current Office of Polar Programs Arctic Social Sciences grant 0732327 as part of the International Polar Year Humans in the Polar Regions project "IPY: Long Term Human Ecodynamics in the Norse North Atlantic: cases of sustainability, survival, and collapse". For further information contact Andrew Dugmore. The draft agenda is available here.

On March 26th there will be a meeting on Global themes in Human ecodynamics: Taking stock and looking forward this will be a joint SAGES and NABO meeting at the University of Edinburgh. The main purpose of this workshop is build on a recent meeting in Maine to develop interactive discussion of human ecodynamics operating in different areas and on different time scales, but with a particular focus on the last 800 years, with the objective of getting a better comparative understanding of the interaction of climate change, human environmental impacts, human-human interaction (politics, proto-globalization etc.) and integrative themes of rigidity traps, connectedness and path dependency. The main focus will not be so much about global climate correlations as an exploration of the human-climate-environment interface with the aim of extracting common patterns and research questions of collective interest as well as sharing ideas, expertise, tools (especially modelling) and best practice approaches. In other words, a good set of discussions about human /landscape/ climate interactions and some sharing of integrative approaches to successful discipline-crossing endeavours. The goals are to bring together members of the SAGES community with NABO and a wider evolving international community of researchers on human ecodynamics and discuss research questions of common interest, and explore new alliances within the SAGES community. International speakers will include Professor Peggy Nelson from Arizona State University and Professor Tom McGovern from CUNY New York. NABO contact and meeting co-ordination Andrew Dugmore amd SAGES members should contact Stephanie West. A draft agenda is available here.
