FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference of the ArchaeoBioCenterLMU Munich and the Research Unit ‘Transalpine Mobility and Cultural Transfer’ of the German Research Foundation (DFG-FOR 1670) CREMATION BURIALS IN EUROPE BETWEEN THE 2ND MILL. B.C. AND THE 4TH C. A.D. ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY Dear Colleagues, We would like to announce an international conference on Cremation Burials in Europe between the 2nd Mill. B.C. and the 4th c. A.D. Archaeology and Anthropology It is the 2nd conference within the Research Unit ‘Transalpine Mobility and Cultural Transfer’ (FOR 1670) financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The unit deals with the establishment of an isotopic fingerprint for bioarchaeological finds, especially cremations, and its application to archaeological and cultural-historical problems from the Late Bronze Age up to Roman Times. The international conference provides an opportunity to present new, especially interdisciplinary research on cremations in Prehistoric and Roman Europe. We would like to invite speakers who address archaeological as well as anthropological analyzes which relate to the focus of our Research Unit. In our meeting we will discuss case studies or overarching analyzes on various cultural contexts from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. Location: St. Markus-Church Gabelsbergerstr. 6, 80333 München Date of the conference: 3rd - 5th October 2017 Deadline for paper and poster proposals & abstracts: 1st November 2016 The main emphasis will be put on the following aspects: Ritual aspects in dealing with cremated individuals from an archaeological and an anthropological perspective: In combining archaeological and anthropological analyses this section will focus on ritual practices in regard to cremated individuals and their cultural context. The relationship between age and gender and ritual practices, deliberate culturally determined selection mechanisms - for example the quantitative selection of cremated bones in a funeral context - or other specific manipulations in dealing with cremated remains will form some thematic focus areas. Evidence for migration and mobility in communities practicing cremation: This session focusses on the evaluation of archaeological finds in combination with anthropological analyses and methodology addressing questions of migration and mobility in communities practicing the burial ritual of cremation. It will provide a forum to discuss new analytical methods, ranging from case studies on isotope analyses of cremated bones to other interdisciplinary approaches. Further information: The conference will be held in German and English. In case you will be sending a German abstract, please provide an English translation of the title of your paper and a short English version of the German abstract. Lectures should be no more than 20 minutes long. Posters are welcome - there will be a brief poster session during the conference. We intend to publish a monograph on the conference proceedings. Conference fees, travel expenses as well as accommodation costs for participants with an accepted paper will be covered by the organizers - details will be announced with the 2nd Call for Papers. Conference fees for participants with an accepted poster will be covered as well; unfortunately we will not be able to compensate the travelling costs of poster presenters.
