Description

The annual Assocaition for Environmental Archaeology (AEA) conference will be held at The University of Nottingham.

This conference aims to explore new tools and novel approaches for tracking the movement of food and ideas across space and time, from the emergence of agriculture and farming to the Columbian exchange and industrialisation. Within the theme of ‘crossing boundaries’ the conference endeavours to bring together studies using a range of methods, from genetics and stable isotope analyses, material culture and bioarchaeological evidence, to GIS and environmental modelling, to ultimately investigate the socio-cultural parameters underpinning food and land practices ‘on the move’ and their impacts on economies, societies and perceptions.
