Second Landscape Archaeology Conference, Berlin, Germany

The Second Landscape Archaeology Conference will take place from 6 to 9 June 2012 in Berlin, Germany.

In the past decade, the field of landscape archaeology has increasingly attracted researchers from the geosciences, archaeology and historical disciplines. Landscape archaeology is the study of the ways in which people in the past constructed and used the environment around them. It has a multidisciplinary approach to the study of culture, and places emphasis on the study of the relationships between material culture, human alteration of land/cultural modifications to landscape, and the natural environment.

The event will be a platform for the presentation, evaluation and discussion of theoretical concepts in the wide field of landscape archaeology. Session topics will concentrate on the following areas:
- ancient megastructures and their environment;
- landscape resiliance to human impact;
- human adaptation to landscape changes;
- spatial Information systems in landscape archaeology;
- theoretical concepts in landscape archaeology.For further information, please visit:
