[Archport] Call-for-Papers: IN POSEIDONS REICH XIV (20.-22.02.09 Kiel, Germany)

["Alexandre Monteiro" <no.arame@gmail.com>]

"I am pleased to disseminate the call-for-papers for our forthcoming
annual conference:

IN POSEIDONS REICH XIV - "Underwater Archaeology in Northern European
Rivers and Lakes"

to be held at:

the University of Kiel on 20th - 22th February 2009

in collaboration between:

- the German Society for the Promotion of Underwater Archaeology (DEGUWA)
- the Department of Prehistory at the University of Kiel
- the Workgroup for Maritime and Limnic Archaeology (AMLA)

In Europe the term 'underwater archaeology' is associated with
spectacular discoveries, like wrecks in the Mediterranean or in the
North and Baltic Seas or also pile-dwellings in the alpine foothills.
For solving questions related to settlement archaeology, mainly
archaeological research in inland waters is of importance. In the past
decades impressive results were achieved - mainly in the Circumbaltic
area and on the British Isles - through maritime and limnic surveys as
well as excavations in rivers and lakes.

The DEGUWA-conference in Kiel aims to illuminate three related subject
areas. The first deals with settlements and their locations on
lakefronts as well as on natural or artificial islands. The second
focusses on infrastructural facilities for crossing or traversing
waters in wetlands as well as on fortification and harbour facilities.
The third concerns mobile traffic facilities for the transportation of
goods and passengers over water.
All interested in underwater archaeological research in northern
European rivers and lakes are sincerely invited to attend this
conference as auditors, as speakers and/or as contributors to the
poster presentation. Paper proposals are to be submitted not later
than the 1st October 2008 with an abstract in English, German or
French of not more than 200 words.

Further information and registration forms are available on our
website: http://www.deguwa.org

A call-for-papers is available as PDF-file: Please feel free to
disseminate it within your department and amongst your colleagues and
friends.

Yours sincerely,
Daniel Zwick"
