Os concheiros – um fenómeno da Pré-história a conhecer

O programa "Conversas sobre Património e História", promovido pelo Museu Municipal - Núcleo de Alverca, tem a próxima sessão agendada para 11 de fevereiro, com inicio às 16 horas.

Com o tema: "CONCHEIROS - UM FENóMENO DA PRé-HISTóRIA A CONHECER", por Diana Nukushina e Helena Ramos, Mestrandas em Arqueologia

A formação de concheiros consiste num fenómeno arqueológico particularmente típico ao longo da Pré-história das sociedades de caçadores-recolectores na Europa Atlântica. Com esta comunicação gostaríamos de divulgar ao público não especializado o que são os concheiros e sensibilizar para um tipo de património arqueológico que, embora seja pouco imponente (se compararmos, por exemplo, com as antas), constitui um tipo de vestígio de grande importância para o conhecimento da Pré-história em Portugal e no Mundo. É por exemplo de salientar que aqui relativamente perto, em Muge, temos os concheiros de época mesolítica com o maior número de enterramentos humanos a nível europeu, conhecidos internacionalmente desde o século XIX.

Colloque UISPP Commission 8 - Liège 2012

The next symposium of UISPP Commission 8 “Upper Palaeolithic” will be held from 29 to 31 May 2012 in the University Theatre at the University of Liège (Belgium), place du XX août 7, B-4000 Liège. The three days will include a series of communications organised by theme.

The first day (29 May) will be organised conjointly with the FNRS Contact Group “Prehistory”. At this time, a talk by Emilie Maj on the modes of displacement among the Yakut (Eastern Siberia) will be presented at 8:00 pm in the Theatre.

A meeting of Commission 8 will be held on 30 May at 8:00 pm. At its conclusion, a buffet for all of the participants will be available.

Communications will last 20 minutes maximum, followed directly by 5 minutes of questions. If time permits, possible discussions will be organised by theme.

Conference participants should send their abstracts (one page maximum) to the Symposium Secretariat before the end of March 2012.

We expect to publish the Acts rapidly, in 2013. Specific instructions to authors will be sent later.

During the symposium, the ERAUL publications will be on sale at special reduced rates. British Archaeological Reports (BAR) will also be present. Other publishers are welcome.

6th Experimental Archaeology Conference

Following the 6th Experimental Archaeology Conference at York this month, we are pleased to announce that a website providing an archive for the conference series and news on upcoming conferences has been created:

www.experimentalarchaeology.org.uk

This informal site contains the details of all past Experimental Archaeology Conference sessions in the UK, and archival information on:

• Titles and authors of all past papers given at the Conference;
• Where available, abstracts and references for oral papers;
• Websites or links to the work of authors, host or contributing organisations;
• Copies of posters displayed during the conference;
• Abstracts of workshops and associated activities;
• Published conference reviews;
• Details of current and future publications arising from the Conference.

It is hoped that the website will also provide news on upcoming Conferences and associated activities. Abstracts and posters are published only with authors' permission, and anyone with material related to the past six conferences at UCL London (2006), Exeter (2007) Aberdeen (2008), Edinburgh (2009), Reading (2011) and York (2012) is encouraged to contribute. In particular we are seeking further information relating to publications that may have arisen from papers or posters given, and any conference reviews or photographs relating to the conference.

21st International Radiocarbon Conference

The 21st International Radiocarbon Conference is co-­‐organized by the French Radiocarbon community and UNESCO. It will be hosted at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France, from 9 to 13 July 2012. The interdisciplinary nature of UNESCO provides an ideal platform for this international Conference, cutting across numerous scientific disciplines as well as cultural aspects.

The Radiocarbon conferences are recurrent events organized every 3 years. They are designed by and for the international scientific community of Radiocarbon users. It is a worldwide forum to discuss and exchange recent developments, new ideas and challenges on the merging research fields of Radiocarbon. After long being used as a “chronometer” only, 14C now appears as a powerful tracer of life and earth system processes. For this reason, besides the traditional sessions of 14C such as calibration, archaeology and palaeoenvironmental studies, the 21st International Radiocarbon Conference opens up to a broader range of scientific disciplines that make use of 14C as tracer of fluxes and processes, such as hydrology, ocean sciences, medicine, ecology as well as other unusual applications (forensic, certification,...). A special focus will be given to the efforts linking observations and models to produce accurate predictions across multiple spatial and time scales.

Radiocarbon 2012 will offer a comprehensive and original scientific programme which will combine plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentations, workshops and a number of side events. Worldwide experts are invited to contribute to the elaboration of this programme by submitting abstracts pertinent to the themes and topics of the Conference. High-­‐level speakers from different disciplines will set the scene, provide updates on latest developments and address burning issues. In addition to this full scientific immersion in the Radiocarbon world, the city of Paris will provide a delightful surrounding to spend time with old friends, make new ones.

Metal as a Measure for Wealth

There will be a conference in Italy in April on experimentation with Ancient Minting, taking place 13-15 April, at the Antiquitates Centre for Experimental Archaeology, Civitella Cesi (Blera-VT). Antiquitates is EXARC member.

More details: http://www.antichemetallurgie.com

Program

· Friday: Experimentation and dissemination of scientific knowledge

· Saturday: Experimentation and metallurgic archaeology

· Sunday: Poster session and Concluding discussion

The registration fee is EUR 50. This covers attendance of all congress sessions and also the meals. Payments can be made on site at the registration. A registration form can be obtained from: archeosperimentale@antiquitates.it.

Last year’s conference at the Antiquitates Centre laid the groundwork for establishing a protocol on how to conduct scientific experiments that would be agreed to and accepted by everyone concerned. One of the aims of the upcoming conference is to pursue a debate aimed at working out common strategies and methodologies that can open the way to an innovative conception of archaeometallurgic experimentation. The program has two purposes: first, to review the potential and applications of experimental archaeology in teaching and disseminating knowledge of the numismatic branch of ancient metallurgy; and second, to bring together scholars of archaeometallurgy and of ancient and medieval numismatics and professional European-level experimenters, in order to analyse the problems of this field of study and contribute to the drafting of an international experimentation protocol. During the three-day meetings, experts and experimenters will join forces to suggest and plan the best methods to obtain the maximum scientific results from the experiments. These methods will be field-tested at the Antiquitates Centre.
