Call for Papers: Rural Settlement in the European Iron Age

Topics of particular interest include:

  • How do our investigations into Iron Age domestic units influence our interpretations of rural settlements and their social, economic and cultural interactions – and what have new investigations to offer in reviewing existing household and settlement interpretations?
  • How enduring were rural settlement patterns and how permanently or periodically settled were particular locations?
  • How are different textures of landscape (upland/lowland; wetland/dryland; inland/coastal) assimilated in land use and settlement strategies?

Offers of oral presentations and posters are welcome – a title and abstract of no more than 2,000 characters (including spaces) should be sent to fmsgseminars@gmail.com by 28 February 2017, using the pdf form below. In addition to the overall theme, the workshop will offer some opportunities to present results on recent research on the European Iron Age, regardless of topic.

  • The scientific panel shall approve offers of papers and posters.
  • Oral presentations should not exceed 20 minutes.
  • Posters should be no more than one A1 paper size (594 x 841 mm).
  • Although the main language of the workshop will be English, contributions in German and French are welcome.
