Dear All,

 

The next UISPP conference will take place in Paris on the 4th-9th June 2018.   You will find the list of sessions, and the session abstract book, as well as the links to submit an abstract for a presentation by clicking the various links on the right of this page:  https://uispp2018.sciencesconf.org/

 

There are two sessions for our Commission, XX-1 and XX-2 and we ask you now to submit your presentations to these sessions.  You will find the session abstracts below this email. It would be really helpful if you could let us know if you are submitting an abstract, and also forward this to us.  

 

If you know of other people who may be interested in joining our commission and/or taking part in the conference please forward this message to them also.  

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further clarification

 

Best wishes, 

Karen, Geoff and Matt 

 

XX-1. The Archaeology of Submerged Landscapes Geoffrey Bailey1 , Karen Hardy, Matthew Meredith-Williams

It is now widely recognised that for most of human history on this planet, sea levels have been substantially lower than the present, and that the rise of sea level with glacial melting from about 20,000–6000 years ago drowned >20 million km2 of land worldwide, much of it highly attractive territory for human settlement and dispersal. This in its turn has led to a realisation that the currently available record of archaeology on land for periods of low sea level is only the truncated fragment of a more extensive and concentrated distribution of Pleistocene human populations, and that the spikes in the apparently increased intensity of marine exploitation during periods of high sea level are largely a function of differential visibility rather than an evolutionary or socio-economic reality. New studies are underway to explore this underwater realm, and to consider the social and demographic impact of sea-level change, involving new ideas and new technologies, many of them multi-disciplinary in character, and some involving collaboration with offshore industries and government agencies. This session will provide an opportunity to explore the current state of play and to compare ongoing research and results in different parts of the world.

 

 XX-2. Shell mounds, shell middens and coastal resources Geoffrey Bailey1 , Karen Hardy, Matthew Meredith-Williams 

1 : Department of Archaeology, University of York (DoA, UoY) - King's Manor, York, YO1 7EP - Royaume-Uni 

Shell middens and shell mounds occur in their tens of thousands on coastlines around the world, especially from the mid-Holocene onwards. New studies are under way in many parts of the world to investigate patterns and rates of mound formation, their significance as features in the landscape, the evidence they contain for patterns of site use and palaeodiet in the form of faunal and molluscan remains, stable isotope signatures, biomolecular and chemical signals, and spatial analyses, new methods of excavation, the evidence for Pleistocene and early Holocene use of coastal and marine resources, and the ethnoarchaeology of coastal resource use and site formation. This session will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the many different approaches to coastal resource exploitation, the way this is reflected in the archaeological record, and how comparative studies can be developed that bring together case studies from different parts of the world within a shared framework of concepts and methods.
