Thematic Session

On the occasion of the International Year of Pastoralism and Pastures, the CAA-FR wishes to highlight these topics and, more broadly, landscapes and society/environment relations. Papers may focus on a variety of themes, such as desertification, transhumance, and migratory routes. More broadly, proposals dealing with how past societies interacted with, managed, or modified their environment on broader scales than micro-local ones are particularly welcome. Regardless of the theme, these presentations should include a reflection on the contributions of computational and quantitative approaches to the study of these objects.

Expected format: 15-minute oral presentations.

To propose a thematic paper, we expect a 300-word abstract (excluding bibliography) and 3 to 5 bibliographical references. 

Poster Session

Poster proposals may be submitted on any topic related to Computational and Quantitative Approaches in Archaeology. They will be exhibited throughout the conference, and a session of short (5-minute) oral presentations of the posters will be organized. The authors of the posters agree to attend both days of the conference.

To submit a poster proposal, we expect a 200-words abstract.

Forums

To participate in either of these forums, we expect a 200-word abstract.

Early Career Researchers

We invite PhD students and early career researchers practicing Computational and Quantitative Approaches in Archaeology to present the methodological aspects of their research in a short format.

Expected format: short presentations of the methodological issues or questions addressed in the research, lasting a maximum of 10 minutes. The presentation of results is not mandatory (especially for PhD students at the beginning of their PhD).

I've tested it for you!

We invite participants to present ready-to-use software applications, research software (e.g., implementation of statistical algorithms in R or Python), as well as scripted “toolboxes” (such as Little Minions), which are written by and for researchers.

Expected format: short presentations showing how to use a tool—in the broadest sense of the term—based on a project, lasting a maximum of 10 minutes.

This call on Calenda.
