[Sasnet] WAC - Landscape legacies: call for papers

[Manuel Arroyo-Kalin]

Dear colleagues,

At the upcoming World Archaeological Congress (WAC) in Dublin, Ireland
(29 June to 4 July 2008) I will be co-chairing (with Alexander Herrera)
a session entitled <Landscape Legacies: Archaeological Approaches to
Domestication in the Landscape>. The aim of this session is to discuss
the relationship between anthropogenic transformations of the landscape
and the use and intensification of plant and animal resources. A brief
outline of the session  can be found at
http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/programme/237.html

We would like to invite paper proposals for the Landscape Legacies
session. The deadline for submitting proposals is February 22, 2008 and 
that submission  entails providing 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 the Theme be identified as <Land and
Archaeology> and the Session as <Landscape Legacies...[237]> at the time 
of registering paper proposals. Eventually participants will be asked to 
send through an extended (2-3 page) abstract and/or paper draft by 15 
June 2008 in order to increase the cohesion of the session 
(pre-circulation), facilitate the role of the discussant,
and ease the way towards future publication.

Please do not hesitate to contact me (maa27 at cam.ac.uk) if you have any
queries about the character of the session and/or if you are interested
in submitting a paper proposal. Further details on WAC 2008,
including registration fees and travel support, can be found in the main
webpage of the conference: http://www.ucd.ie/wac-6/

With best regards,


Manuel
