International Landscape Conference (LAC) 2026 in Bamberg! https://archaeologik.blogspot.com/2025/06/international-landscape-conference-lac.html
International Landscape Conference (LAC) 2026 in Bamberg!
Vom 18. bis 21. März 2026 findet in Bamberg die nächste LAC statt.
Die LAC meetings präsentieren das breite Spektrum der Landschaftsarchäologie und finden unter der Schirmherrschaft der International Association for Landscape Archaeology (IALA) alle zwei Jahre statt. 14 Jahre nach dem Treffen in Berlin (2012) findet die LAC wieder in Deutschland statt. Für Fachleute und Studierende aus verschiedenen Disziplinen ist sie eine (englischsprachige) Diskussionsplattform für neue Forschungen und Methoden zu vergangenen Landschaften.
Schwerpunktthemen sind:
* River and wetland landscapes
* Vertical landscapes
* Populations and demography
* Economies and resources
* Archaeological heritage and valorization of past landscapes
* Non-invasive methods and techniques
* Geospatial analysis
* Big data
Bis 11. Juli 2025 läuft erst einmal der Call for Sessions. Ende Juli bis Mitte Oktober folgt der Call for Papers.
Nähere Informationen unter:
* https://lac2026.com/
Dort kann man sich ganz altmodisch zu einer Mailingliste anmelden, man kann aber auch auf instagram lac_2026_bamberg folgen.
