Members of this Forum may be particularly interested in one of the
themes which is:
"Transitions between periods, e.g. Saxon to Norman, early to high
medieval, late to post medieval"
Other themes on fragmentation for which we are particularly seeking
papers are:
? Divisions between material specialists, e.g. ceramicists,
numismatists, small finds or metalwork specialists
? Geographic boundaries, e.g. studies according to modern regional
and national boundaries (Kent, Italy) or those according to
contemporary boundaries (Wessex, Normandy)
? Landscape and settlement vs. object-based archaeology
? Cultural focus vs. biological/environmental focus (including human
and animal remains)
? Life and death archaeology, e.g. finds and settlements relating to
people?s lifestyles and those found within funerary landscapes
? Relationships between urban and rural archaeology
? Theme-based divisions, e.g. social, economic, cultural, military
? Fragmentation between professions, e.g. academia, heritage
(including museums), commercial archaeology and conservation
Please forward far and wide. The paper deadline is 1 September and
all submissions should be made via email to myself and Ben Jervis
(
[email protected]) as well as submitted via the TAG 2008 online
submission form:
