Call for papers: a special issue on geoarchaeology

[Geoarchaeology IAG]

Dear members of the IAG Working Group of Geoarchaeology,

As proceedings of a geoarchaeology session at the World Archaeological Congress (WAC-08) in Kyoto, Japan, we, the conveners of the session, want to organise a Special Issue in Quaternary International, Geoarchaoelogy, Journal of Archaeological Science or Geomorphology, depending on the editing issues and the submission deadlines. We are about to submit a proposal.

We also invite other colleagues working in geoarchaeology to contribute to this special issue.
The topic will focus on subjects that might be related to on-site processes or regional landscape evolution. It will be divided in three different approaches regarding the different kind of archaeological contexts:
1. New methods for data exploitation or acquisition on key sites that require a cutting edge approach
2. Methodologies that can promote a better understanding of destroyed sites, sites with a “bad taphonomy” or a stratigraphy with “unvisible data”
3. Off-site methodologies or a regional approach that highlights human impacts or occupation

If you are interested, please write us a short email with an abstract of a max. of 200 words.
Please let us know until the 20.09.2016 if you are interested. Write an email to sto...@uni-koeln.de (cc: tara....@gmail.com, ko...@chikyu.ac.jp).

Best regards,

Friederike Stock, Tara Beuzen-Waller and Yasuhisa Kondo

Hi There,

I'd be interested  by writing on 'regional approach that highlights human impacts or occupation'. I've been recently working on sites where we know there was human occupation and activity but nearly no features left due to the soil and erosion. Would that be of interest to you?

Val
