Dear colleagues,

At the upcoming World Archaeological Congress (WAC) in Dublin, Ireland
(29 June to 4 July 2008),  Yannick Devos (Université Libre
de Bruxelles), Cristiano Nicosia (Geoarchaeology and soil
micromorphology consultant, Italy) and myself will be co-chairing a
session entitled <Geoarchaeology and Dark Earths>. The aim of this
session is to bring together researchers of Amazonian and European dark
earths, at first glance completely different types of anthrosols, in
order to share their geoarchaeological research experiences. A brief
descriptive summary of the session can be found at the WAC website
(http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/programme/148.html)

We would like to invite interested researchers to submit paper proposals for 
the Dark Earth session. You may wish to note that the deadline for submitting 
paper proposals is February 22, 2008 and that submission consists of 
registering a title and a 150 word abstract via the Paper Proposal Form 
(http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/proposal_papers.html):
it is important that you indicate the Theme <Developing International
Geoarchaeology> and the Session <Geoarchaeology and Dark Earths [148]>.
Eventually we will request participants to send through an extended (2-3
page) abstract and/or paper draft (early June 2008) in order to increase
the cohesion of presentations (pre-circulation), facilitate the role of
the discussants (William Woods and Richard Macphail, to be fully
confirmed), and ease the way towards future publication.

Please do not hesitate to contact me (maa27 at cam.ac.uk) or my colleagues
(yadevos at ulb.ac.be, cristianonicosia at yahoo.it) if you have any queries
about the character of the session and/or are interested in submitting a
paper proposal. Further details on WAC2008, including registration fees
and travel support, can be found in the main webpage of the conference:
http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/

We look forward to hearing from you,

With best regards,

Manuel
