EAA2017 – Call for Papers: Culture, nature and the divine

We kindly invite you to contribute a paper or poster to our session at EAA2017 in Maastricht
(30 Aug-4th Sept), dealing with

Culture, nature and the divine: Maintaining the sacral across the longue durée.

Sacred complexes comprise some of the most iconic and challenging phenomena in the European archaeological record. Longevity of use, multi-periodicity, succession and appropriation raise intriguing questions that test both diachronicities and  traditional disciplinary boundaries. Leading studies of sacred complexes across Europe routinely draw on archaeological, anthropological, historical, ethnographical, linguistic and sociological approaches to generate more complete ‘pictures’ of such places .

Papers in this session will both reflect and problematize diachronic and multi-disciplinary approaches by interrogating themes of location and siting, monument morphology, multi-periodicity, longevity, paraphernalia and symbolism. This session will focus in particular on themes of procession, disclosure, ceremony and choreography at sacred complexes, analysing the interplay of three-dimensional space (architecture and topography) and the longue durée, nature, ritual, movement and performance in the creation of the hierophanic.

The session is organized by
Ruth Beusing, Knut Rassman – Römisch-Germanische Kommission Frankfurt
Conor Newman, Stefan Bergh – National University of Ireland Glasgow
Roseanne Schot – Discovery Programme Dublin

The paper and poster submission is now open on on the EAA Maastricht 2017 website
