Archäologisches Kolloquium: "Die Halle des Königs? Aktuelle Ausgrabungen im direkten Umfeld des Königsgrabes von Seddin."

Nov 27, 2023 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Hybride Veranstaltung (Johanna-Mestorf-Straße 2-6, Johanna-Mestorf-Hörsaal/Online)

Dr. Immo Heske (Göttingen); Prof. Dr. Franz Schopper (Brandenburg) • Die Halle des Königs? Aktuelle Ausgrabungen im direkten Umfeld des Königsgrabes von Seddin.

Mit dem Fundort Seddin in der Prignitz sind für die jüngere Bronzezeit in Mittel- und Nordeuropa herausragende archäologische Funde verbunden. Der Fundort erhält nicht nur aus der einzelnen Grablege seine Bedeutung, sondern durch die Konzentration herausragender Objekte und Inventare, die aufs Engste mit dem monumentalen Grabhügel des »König Hinz« und der ehemals weiträumigen Grabhügelgruppe in den »Wickboldschen Tannen« verknüpft sind. Besonders das Inventar aus dem Großgrabhügel mit der bronzenen Amphore und bronzenen Schälchen sowie den weiteren Beigaben wie Schwert und bronzener Phalere liefert eine entscheidende Grundlage für Überlegungen zu den internationalen Beziehungen von hochrangigen Personen in ihrem europäischen Kontext.
Seit dem Jahr 2015 unternimmt das Seminar für Ur- und Frühgeschichte der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen unter der Leitung von Dr. Immo Heske Prospektionsgrabungen in verschiedenen Bereichen des zwischen den Bestattungsplätzen liegenden Raumes. Die bisher freigelegten Befunde umfassen
Pfostenstrukturen, Siedlungsgruben und eine Vielzahl an Gargruben/Feuergruben. Die erhobenen absoluten Daten und das Fundmaterial umfassen einen Zeitraum von der Periode V und VI nach nordischer Chronologie und lassen ein ausgedehntes facettenreiches Siedlungsareal vermuten. Seit Februar 2023 erfolgt eine Projektförderung durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. SiSE I, das in Kooperation von Prof. Dr. Franz Schopper (Landesarchäologe BLDAM) und Dr. Immo Heske eingeworbene Projekt hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, das Siedlungsumfeld Seddin zu erforschen. Erstmals sind nun großflächige, ausgedehnte Grabungen möglich geworden. Bei den Flächengrabungen im 1. Projektjahr wurden dabei gleich zwei Wandgräbchenhäuser freigelegt. Besonders Aufmerksamkeit erregt ein Großbau mit
einer Länge von 31 m bei einer erstaunlichen Breite von knapp 10 m. Steineinbauten und mächtige Wandgräbchen lassen dabei an eine repräsentative »Halle« denken. Unmittelbar nach Beendigung der Geländearbeiten gibt der Vortrag erste Einblicke in die Befundstruktur, das Fundaufkommen und die Vergleichsbefunde. Ein früher Arbeitsbericht. In der Zusammenschau der vorherigen Prospektionsgrabungen ist der Hausgrundriß in die Gesamtstruktur des weiträumigen Areals einzuordnen und stellt die Frage: »Die Siedlung des »König Hinz«. Ist sie nun gefunden?«

Archäologisches Kolloquium: "Körperrituale aus vier Jahrtausenden - neue Forschungen in oberfränkischen Schachthöhlen."

Nov 13, 2023 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Hybride Veranstaltung (Johanna-Mestorf-Straße 2-6, Johanna-Mestorf-Hörsaal/Online)

Dr. Timo Seregély (Bamberg) • Körperrituale aus vier Jahrtausenden - neue Forschungen in oberfränkischen Schachthöhlen.

Schachthöhlen, welche auf der Fränkischen Alb stark verbreitet sind, stellen eine besondere prähistorische Denkmalgattung dar. Bereits in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts erweckten sie durch zahlreiche Menschenknochenfunde aus unterschiedlichen Epochen große Aufmerksamkeit. Die mangelnde Qualität und selektive Funderfassung der Altgrabungen lässt allerdings in keinem einzigen Fall eine schlüssige Interpretation der Körper deponierungen zu.
Die Entdeckung der Kirschbaumhöhle im Jahr 2011 war ein Glücksfall für die archäologische Forschung, da die Speläologen jeden einzelnen Fund an Ort und Stelle beließen. 3D-Scanning, eine große Serie an 14 C-Datierungen und naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen versprechen nun einen deutlichen Fortschritt bei der Erforschung dieser engen, schwer zugänglichen Höhlen. Im Vortrag werden Untersuchungsstrategien und erste Ergebnisse zur Kirschbaumhöhle, sowie zu zwei weiteren, in den letzten 12 Jahren entdeckten, Schachthöhlen vorgestellt.

Financial empowerment: Strengthening your financial self-confidence through financial knowledge

Workshop for Female Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers

A high degree of flexibility is expected during the doctoral and postdoctoral qualification phase. This is often accompanied by a rather short planning horizon and resulting financial uncertainties. The workshop aims to help female researchers to expand their financial knowledge and to reflect on their attitudes towards money and financial risks. Interactive formats will provide hands-on information to those who want to actively manage their finances in the future. The following topics will be addressed:

• Money mindset and individual risk attitude
• Insuring individual risk
• ABC of finance: important terms and concepts relating to money, savings and investments in Germany; investment forms; investment strategies (ETFs, investment funds)
• Pension gap and private pension provision
• Money in everyday life, debt reduction, building up a financial cushion
• Securing children financially
• Sustainable investments
• Next steps and support structures

Workshop Leader: Kris Hauf, Private Vermögensbetreuung Hamburg

PI: Chiara Thumiger (Cluster of Excellence Roots, CAU Kiel; Visiting scholar, HU Berlin)

The objective of this conference is to explore in a new light the work and influence of the late antique medical writer Caelius Aurelianus. Caelius Aurelianus is the author of a major treatise De morbis acutis et chronicis (On Acute and Chronic Diseases) as well as of the Gynaecia and Medicinales Responsiones which only survive in fragments. It has been several decades since the last dedicated conference on him and his work; it is now time to propose a reevaluation of his figure as a medical thinker, author, and doxographical source, take stock of the scholarly status quaestionis and envisage future lines of inquiry.

This conference is an occasion to discuss key aspects of his work, his significance in the history of medicine, and his status in contemporary scholarship. We are delighted to have gathered a rich and varied combination of experts in ancient medicine and history, history of philosophy and science, ancient languages and literature, and archaeology of the North African context.

Topics of discussion include the practice of medicine, nosology, pathology, medicine and emotions, emotions and therapeutic techniques;  medical traditions, sects, doctrinal diagreements and the Methodist school; the language, style, and narratology of Caelius’ text; questions of authoriality and reception.

International Conference: The Poetics of Things Past. Transmission of Knowledge in Verse from Antiquity to Early Modern Times

Jul 12, 2023 to Jul 14, 2023

Seeburg, Kiellinie, Kiel University

Things described in poetry convey knowledge about the past. This conference explores the epistemic status of poems, focusing on the knowledge conveyed about the past through poetic descriptions. While poems are often seen as sources of historical and archaeological knowledge, the discussion has been overshadowed by debates on the poetics of knowledge in modern literature. We aim to bridge this gap by examining ancient and early modern didactic poetry as a means of knowldge transmission. By studying the strategies employed in didactic poetry and expanding beyond Latin didactic poetry, the conference aims to shed new light on the potential of poetic genres and languages for conveying knowledge about the past.

"Aktenzeichen VAR ungelöst. 30 Jahre Forschungen zur Varusschlacht in Kalkriese"

Seit mehr als 30 Jahren wird in Kalkriese archäologisch geforscht. Mehr als 7000 römische Funde sind bislang ans Tageslicht gekommen. Ist Kalkriese ein Ort der historischen Varusschlacht? Vieles spricht dafür; doch Zweifel an dieser Deutung stehen weiterhin im Raum. Zwei historische Ereignisse für den Fundniederschlag vor Ort werden diskutiert: War es die Varusschlacht 9 n. Chr. oder die Schlacht an den Langen Brücken 15 n. Chr. Weder die Archäologie noch die Geschichtswissenschaft erlauben bislang eindeutige Aussagen. In dem Vortrag werden die grundlegenden Probleme bei der historischen Interpretation des Fundplatzes dargestellt sowie Einblicke in die archäologischen Forschungen der letzten 30 Jahre in Kalkriese gegeben. Die jüngsten Untersuchungen geben Anlass, den Fundplatz neu zu denken.

Conference "Comparative Guts"

Jun 07, 2023 to Jun 09, 2023

Kunsthalle Kiel, Düsternbrooker Weg 1, 24105 Kiel

This international conference, which launches the digital exhibition Comparative Guts, focuses on the representation of human innards (especially those involved in digestion and nutrition, what English refers to as ‘guts’) in a variety of world contexts, genres, traditions media and historical periods, from the Neolithic to the contemporary world. It aims to avoid the implicit framework of Eurocentrism by bringing together body representations from different regions, times and layers of human cultural production, emphasizing their irreducible variety and refusing to rank disciplines or contexts. Sensual experience, learned anatomy, religious feelings, medical practices, emotions, political sentiments, decorative intentions, ‘art’: each of these testifies to human reflections about our ‘embodied’ life, and each is valid in its own terms. ‘Comparative Guts’ accordingly explores the approaches of visual methods and image interpretation by foregrounding the potential of images to mediate anthropological information — with ‘image’ meaning not only the visually, optically perceived, but also mental images accessed through proprioceptive feelings, projection, auditory and olfactory stimulation.

The project has an important bearing on disability perspectives, intended in the spirit of inclusivity and sharing knowledge with a public as wide as possible; but also as a challenge to a primarily ‘visual’ paradigm: before seeing and learning about the body we feel it and experience it. Thanks to the generous support offered by the Diversitätsfonds der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel the comparative guts website includes the Alt-text with image descriptions for the blind, and the conference will host a workshop (link) designed to engage a blind and visually impaired public, with an olfactory experience, tactile objects and a guided visit to four images from our Comparative Guts collection.

Prof. Dr. Axel Christophersen, Trondheim:
"Why does she act that way? An oblique look at interdisciplinary cooperation, opportunities and limitations in archaeological observation, documentation and analysis work."

The citation is taken from a book of Astrid Lindgren, where a subterranean being wonders why two human legs are sticking out of the ceiling of her earth cave. In interdisciplinary projects, one can be confronted with such questions: What is this? Why is it done this way, etc.? Urban archeology in the Nordic countries has always
been much about experimenting and working with natural sciences methods, old and new once. In the wake of such collaborative relationships, notorious challenges
have arisen about how different scientific practice traditions are explained (or not) and assumed (or not) by the collaborative partners. Often this theme is reduced
to a question of weak communication and a lack of insight into cross-disciplinary routinized practice patterns. But there are more than misunderstanding and
superficial communication generating this challenge. It is worth thinking of the fact that in the last instance interdisciplinary cooperation is not about what one intends to do, but what one do. So, what do we do?

Archäologisches Kolloquium: Dr. Judith Thomalsky (Berlin), Proximity and discontinuity in the Neolithisation process in Iran

Apr 24, 2023 from 06:30 PM

Johanna-Mestorf-Str. 2–6 (Eingang 4, Erdgeschoss, R. 28), 24118 Kiel / hybrid*

Das Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte in Kiel lädt im Rahmen des Archäologischen Kolloquiums im Sommersemester 2023 zu folgenden Vorträgen mit anschließender Diskussion ein:

Dr. Judith Thomalsky, Berlin
"Proximity and discontinuity in the Neolithisation process in Iran"

The recent decade of archaeological research in the highlands of Iran provided important and very detailed information about the development towards sedentism and farming societies. Braidwood’s basic outline of a core area of neolithization along the »Zagros flanks« appears clearly supported though we can demonstrate a certain diversity in regard of time and reflection of specific steps towards the Neolithic way of life between 9500 – 7500 cal BC. In addition, important investigations came from a
re-evaluation program that is currently realized in the North Iran. Here, the »seven caves« in the Behshahr rocky limestone ranges, can be regarded as another »core area« where neolithization took place. Briefly examined by Carlton S. Coon in the early 1950ies, a team of the Tehran University undertakes archaeological soundings in Hotu Cave, Kamarband Cave, and they also continued substantial excavations in the vicinity of Komishani Cave. Occupation deposits at these sites start with the so-called Caspian Mesolithic and continue into the Pre-Pottery Neolithic, respectively from 15.000 – 8500/8000 cal BC, and the Pottery Neolithic (7000 – 5500 cal BC). All three sites exhibit
prominent »breaks« in the sequence in form of colluvial deposits followed by occupational gaps. The events of interruption coincide with remarkable periods of transition: 1) at the dawn of the Neolithic era, and 2) shortly before the first pottery appears in the region. The subsequent cultural development, in regard on the pottery production, then continued until the earlier Chalcolithic period (5th mill. cal BC), after which most of the sites were abandoned until a re-occupation during the Iron Age. In a rather hypothetical perspective, due to not yet well-defined data sets, we will discuss whether and how we can link these indices to possible climatic events and environmental impacts on the cultural developments but also, we try to reach out beyond the »Braidwood Zagros fringes«, towards adjacent North-eastern neighbours of the »Behshahr Neolithic«.

Conference: Urban Knowledge Transfer in Serial Sources. Administration, Routines and Society in Europe's Late Medieval Towns

Mar 30, 2023 to Apr 01, 2023

Internationales Begenungszentrum Kiel (IBZ)

"Innerstädtischer Wissenstransfer in seriellen Quellen. Verwaltung, Alltag und Gesellschaft in den spätmittelalterlichen Kommunen Europas"

The Late Middle Ages have received numerous apt characterisations – amongst others ‘age of the explosion of scripturality’. Since the 12th century, urban Western and Central Europe had emerged as a place of a highly productive scripturality.The availability of new writing materials as well as a change in the perception of the benefits of scripturality played an important role which enabled the aspiring cities and towns of Western Europe to face the challenges of self-organisation and administration. Scripturality, as a medium detached from persons and individual memory to store information and to cope with everyday challenges, has been considered a productive field of medieval studies.
The international conference on ‘Knowledge Transfer in Serial Sources. Administration, Experience / Everyday Life and Society in Europe’s Late Medieval Towns’ to be held in Kiel aims at reflecting the results of the statistical analyses of the last decades, comparing methods and perspectives from different European regions as well as discussing future developments.The three main topics of interest concern the formation of entries in serial sources, possible processes of knowledge transfer and change, as well as potential law (s) of seriality.

Amber – a Connector of Knowledge and Societies

Feb 23, 2023 09:00 AM to Feb 25, 2023 02:30 PM

Leibnizstraße 1, R. 105

Amber in prehistory is still a big and important topic. Therefore, we would like to invite you to a joint workshop on amber as a "link between knowledge and societies" in the framework of the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS in Kiel.
The aim of the workshop is to gain an overview of the European amber trade from the Late Neolithic to the Iron Age, less with regard to possible exchange routes than to the social aspect of the people who had access to amber. The main topic will be the social context of amber.

Symposia on amber have a long tradition since the analysis of Baltic amber by C.W. Beck. Much has been discussed about origin, exchange and possible course of exchange routes. We know in which regions amber appears in the archaeological find context and about its frequency in the individual regions. But what was its importance for the societies of that time and which group of people really had access to this strange stone from the north. Is amber just as important in the north at its source as it was in far away Mycenae? Who wore the large amber necklaces, who wore only pendants, who had access to raw amber? Who worked it? Were its flammable and electrostatic properties known? These are all questions we want to explore together in this workshop in order to gain as comprehensive a Europe-wide understanding as possible of the importance of amber in different societies.
Individual presentations will provide an overview of the social environments in which amber occurs. Does it occur primarily in dumps, in graves, or in settlements? Is it socialized with women and children or different age groups, or is it only encountered in rich graves or special burials? What does this say about the appreciation of amber in each society? Is it possible to find uniform patterns across Europe and do they differ depending on how close they are to the resource amber (succinite/simetite/ruminite)? Do we know which groups of people were involved in the amber trade or its processing and which group of people or region benefited from it?

We will try to answer the following questions in our workshop.

• - What was the social status of the bearers of the amber?
• - Can age, gender or wealth differences be determined?
• - Is it possible to identify traders or the buyers?
• - Is there a change in the knowledge about amber (origin, use, function)?
• - What new methods for determining origin do we know?

 
The workshop is scheduled for 3 days, February 23-25, 2023. An excursion to one of the amber-rich coasts on the North Sea with a museum visit is planned.
This Workshop is organised by the subcluster Knowledge in the context of the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS of Kiel University.

PD Dr. Andreas G. Heiss (Wien) spricht zum Thema:
Botanik in flagranti – Das pflanzliche Inventar eines durch Brand zerstörten, spätantik-frühbyzantinischen Stadtquartiers in Ephesos

In den Jahren 2011 bis 2018 wurden im Zentrum des spätantiken Ephesos etwa 2.000 m² eines ehemaligen Stadtviertel ergraben. Das einem heutigen Wohnblock (bzw. einer römischen insula) ähnelnde Areal ist aus mehreren unabhängigen Einheiten aufgebaut und umfasst u.a. einen repräsentativen Wohnbau, einige dem Handel dienende Räumlichkeiten, Werkstätten, sowie Betriebe wohl großmaßstäbiger Lebensmittelverarbeitung (etwa von Trauben, Getreide und Oliven). Mitte des 7. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wurde das Viertel ein Raub der Flammen. Danach folgte zwar eine Weiternutzung des Areals bis ins 12. Jahrhundert, ein Großteil des Brandschutts blieb jedoch als »Schnappschuss« des Brandereignisses vor Ort und dient heute als wertvolle Wissensressource zur Erforschung der Lebensweise in Ephesos. Die 2014 begonnenen archäobotanischen Analysen stützen sich auf die hochauflösende Beprobung des Areals. Sie konnten im Herbst 2022 nach teils COVIDbedingten Unterbrechungen wiederaufgenommen werden und haben inzwischen Tausende identifizierte Pflanzenreste geliefert. Im Vortrag werden Highlights des aktuellen Forschungsstandes und deren Interpretation unter den Gesichtspunkten Holzkonstruktion, Möblierung, Landwirtschaft und Ernährung präsentiert.

Archaeological Colloquium: Bernsteincolliers und Schmuckscheiben – Neue Hortfunde und Überlegungen zur sozialen Struktur der mitteldeutschen Aunjetitzer Kultur (Prof. Dr. Harald Meller, Halle)

Jan 23, 2023 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Prof. Dr. Harald Meller (Halle) spricht zum Thema:
Bernsteincolliers und Schmuckscheiben – Neue Hortfunde und Überlegungen zur sozialen Struktur der mitteldeutschen Aunjetitzer Kultur

In den letzten Jahren wurden in Domsen, Burgenlandkreis, und Teicha, Saalekreis,
zwei Hortfunde mit Schmuck- und Ausstattungselementen geborgen, die wohl
Frauen zuzuschreiben sind. Durch die sorgfältige Bergung und minutiöse Ausgrabung
im Labor konnten unter anderem bedeutende Erkenntnisse zur Zusammengehörigkeit
von Nadeln, Spiralröllchen und Bernsteinperlen gewonnen werden,
die aufwendige, mit Nadeln befestigte Colliers bildeten. Damit wird zunehmend
klar, dass es auch in der mitteldeutschen Aunjetitzer Kultur sozial hochstehende
Frauen gab, die im archäologischen Befund lange wenig präsent waren.
Ein weiterer neuer Hortfund aus Teicha enthält Würdezeichen und Waffen, die
hochrangigen Männern gehört haben, aber nicht als Beigaben in Gräber gelangten.
Dies zeigt einmal mehr die strikte Kontrolle über die Bewaffnung und letztlich
die Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft, die von den herrschenden Fürsten ausgeübt wurde.

Über Parrhesia - ein Workshop mit Prof. Dr. Hartmut Leppin (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main)

Jan 20, 2023 from 05:15 PM

Leibnizstr. 1, R 204

‘Wo es Gehorsam gibt, kann es keine parrhesia geben’, sagt Michel Foucault - in seiner Vorstellung setzen sich Parrhesie und Demokratie gegenseitig voraus und sind in der antiken Mittelmeerwelt verwurzelt. Der Althistoriker und Leibnizpreisträger, Prof. Dr. Hartmut Leppin, teilt mit uns seine Forschungserkenntnisse aus seinem neuen Buch Paradoxe der Parrhesie - Eine antike Wortgeschichte und erzählt, wie die Praxis der intellektuellen Verflechtung verschiedener Akteursgruppen den Grundstein für die freie Meinungsäußerung legte.

Workshop: Online discussion on archaeological cultures in present-day Belarus

Dec 13, 2022 from 06:00 PM

Virtual via ZOOM

What are the hypotheses about the origin and distribution of archaeological cultures on the territory of present-day Belarus in the first millennium AD? This question will be the subject of an online discussion moderated by ROOTS member Dr Jens Schneeweiß on 13 December. The event entitled "Slavs, Balts and Germans on the territory of Belarus in the 1st millennium: an archaeological panorama" is part of the Science At Risk Lecture Series of the Science at Risk Emergency Office and is organised in cooperation with the Centre for Baltic and Slavic Archaeology Schleswig, with the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS at Kiel University and the Chair of Archaeology at Warsaw University.

Three Belarusian historians from the Chair of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, who were forced to stop their scientific activities in Belarus due to political repression, will give presentations. Topics of the presentations:

Dr. Vadzim Beliavets
Hypothesis of the "Paliessie white spot" today: the state of the study of the problem of the genesis of the Prague culture in Belarusian archeology
 
Vital Sidarovich
Hoards of the Early Migration Period from the territory of Belarus as evidence of migrations of East German peoples

Dr. Mikalai Plavinski
Burial sites of the Krivichi people of Northern Belarus in the 8th - early 11th centuries

The working language will be English and Belarusian (with consistent translation into English).

Archaeological Colloquium: Pannonier am Wetteraulimes? – Das Tumulusgrab eines römischen Militäroffiziers am Limeskastell Arnsburg (Dr. Julia Koch, Gießen)

Dec 12, 2022 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Johanna-Mestorf-Hörsaal, Johanna-Mestorf-Str. 2–6 (Eingang 4, Erdgeschoss, R. 28), 24118 Kiel

Dr. Julia Koch, Gießen spricht zum Thema:

Pannonier am Wetteraulimes?
Das Tumulusgrab eines römischen Militäroffiziers am Limeskastell Arnsburg

Nach den Untersuchungen der Reichs-Limeskommission vor über einem Jahrhundert
fanden am Obergermanischen Limes im Gräberfeld des Limeskastells Arnsburg
„Alteburg“ (Lkr. Gießen) von 2020 bis 2022 erstmals erneut Ausgrabungen statt.
Im Zuge dieser Ausgrabungen, die in Kooperation der JLU Gießen mit dem
Hessischen Landesamt für Denkmalpflege durchgeführt wurden, gelang die
Entdeckung einer exzeptionellen Bustumbestattung, deren Grabbeigaben in der
südlichen Wetterau eindrücklich die antike Bade- und Jagdkultur am Ufer von
Welsbach und Wetter bezeugen.

Anhand der Grabbeigaben und Grabarchitektur wird im Rahmen des Vortrags
das Bestattungsritual für einen hochrangigen Offizier der cohors I Aquitanorum
rekonstruiert, das uns die Multikulturalität, Migration und Mobilität von
Gemeinschaften sowie deren Strategien zur Ausbildung von Resilienz in imperialen
Grenzgebieten exemplarisch nachvollziehen lässt.

Urban Water Conference

Dec 07, 2022 to Dec 09, 2022

t.b.a.

Urban Water Conference.
Water is a resource, element of natural environment, but also part of urban culture and social life. The colloquium "Urban Water II", organized by the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS, Subcluster "Urban ROOTS", in Kiel from 7 to 9 December 2022, deals with the question how urban actors perceived and interacted with their dynamic social, environmental, and cultural settings related to water in pre-modern times. Experts from eight countries will present current research on bathing, narratives around water, water and social topography, and water (healing) cults. At the same time, the topics of the colloquium reflect the orientation of various working groups in the ROOTS subcluster "Urban ROOTS", whose results will be exchanged and deepened with the international experts during the colloquium. From history and archaeology to literary studies and philosophy, a wide variety of disciplines are represented, allowing for a comprehensive view of the aforementioned topics.

Workshop on Environmental conditions in prehistory (c. 10,000 BP - present) - ecology, carrying capacity, and the landscape: integrating regional models and developing global databases

Dec 09, 2022 from 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM

Seminarraum 105 a+b, Leibnizstraße 1, 24118 Kiel

Workshop on "Environmental conditions in prehistory (c. 10,000 BP - present) - ecology, carrying capacity, and the landscape: integrating regional models and developing global databases".

Organizers: Oliver Nakoinz, Søren Wichmann, Laurenz Hillmann

Short description:

The modeling of past environments and demography is of importance to the understanding of past societies in archaeology and social science. In order to develop simulation models some basic environmental parameters are often needed. Moreover, spatial distributional analyses of archaeological may extract explanatory variables from environmental datasets. However, heterogenic data availability, different approaches, and the increasingly growing magnitude of data make comparative work difficult. Pertinent questions range from what data is most suitable for different time frames, what methods can be used in local and global research areas, and what are the minimally necessary environmental components of simulation models for prehistory. These are some of the questions that we would like to address during this one-day workshop. Its purpose is to generate ideas, to develop a good understanding of what comparative data is available globally for the study of prehistory and how it may be integrated, as well as to stimulate future collaboration.

International Workshop: "Medieval accounting books and digital humanities"

Dec 02, 2022 03:00 PM to Dec 03, 2022 02:00 PM

Room 227, Leibnizstr. 8, Kiel University, 24118 Kiel

International Workshop: "Medieval accounting books and digital humanities".

Abstract:

Aktuell ist die Forschung zu mittelalterlichen Rechnungsbüchern und den digital humanities sehr produktiv. Rechnungsbücher, die einst mit dem Ziel der Wissenssicherung und Wissensspeicherung angelegt wurden, werden durch das Methodenspektrum digitaler Quellenbearbeitung vermehrt analysiert. Neue Programme, effiziente Modelle und eine rapide wachsende Zahl digitalisierter Vorlagen führt zu einer großen Zahl an Studien. Dennoch entwickeln sich zu den Ergebnissen auch stets neue Fragen über digitale Anwendungen, Umgang und nicht zuletzt der Frage der Repositorien. Ziel des Workshops wird das Zusammenbringen der aktuell Forschenden zu Rechnungsbüchern und dem Austausch über die Schwierigkeiten einer KI-gestützten Auswertung sein. 

Research on medieval account books and the digital humanities is currently very productive. Account books, which were once created with the aim of preserving and storing knowledge, are increasingly being analyzed through the methodological spectrum of digital source processing. New programs, efficient models and a rapidly growing number of digitized originals are leading to a large number of studies. Nevertheless, new questions about digital applications, handling and, last but not least, the question of repositories are constantly developing in addition to the results. The aim of the workshop will be to bring together current researchers on account books and to exchange views on the difficulties of an AI-supported evaluation.

Das Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Kiel, lädt im Rahmen des Archäologischen Kolloquiums im Wintersemester 2022/23 zu folgendem Vortrag mit anschließender Diskussion ein:

Dr. Ruth Blankenfeldt, Schleswig, 
spricht zum Thema: 
Bringt dat Watt?
Interdisziplinäre Forschungen im Nordfriesischen Wattenmeer 
Das nordfriesische Wattenmeer, heute als Nationalpark und UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe geschützt, unterliegt durch Umwelteinflüsse seit Jahrtausenden einem ständigen Wandel. Zudem griff der Mensch spätestens ab dem Mittelalter intensiv in die Gestaltung der Landschaft mit ein. Nach verheerenden Fluten konnten zwar manche Areale wieder zurückgewonnen werden. Viele Warften und landwirtschaftliche Nutzflächen versanken dagegen für immer im Meer, sind aber in ihren Resten unter der heutigen Oberfläche des Wattenmeeres erhalten. 
Ein aktuelles, DFG-teilfinanziertes Forschungsprojekt kombiniert nun erstmals geophysikalische, geoarchäologisch und archäologische Methoden zur Untersuchung ausgewählter Bereiche im nordfriesischen Wattenmeer. Ziel ist die systematische Erfassung und Dokumentation der hier untergegangenen Kulturlandschaft.

Archaeological Colloquium: Can we dismiss a case of early agriculture in Northeast India? Insights from on-going research in the Mimi caves, Nagaland (Prof. Dr. Tiatoshi Jamir, Nagaland University Kohima)

Oct 24, 2022 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Johanna-Mestorf-Hörsaal, Johanna-Mestorf-Str. 2–6 (Eingang 4, Erdgeschoss, R. 28)

Prof. Dr. Tiatoshi Jamir, Nagaland University Kohima 

​​​​​Spricht zum Thema: 
Can we dismiss a case of early agriculture in Northeast India? Insights from on-going research in the Mimi caves, Nagaland

Amidst claims for early dates of early human migration to Northeast India, there is lack of well-excavated sites with reliable dating evidence. Our understanding of early human presence in the region and the emergence of cultural complexities is, therefore, a subject that still warrants more empirical data augmented by prolonged field investigations. While there are considerable efforts over decades to improve the datasets of Northeast India’s prehistory, research continue to be directed towards the region’s cultural history relying on limited excavations. Aside early Palaeolithic, we are encountered with yet another challenging issue – the beginning of agriculture and the emergence of complex societies that today form the ethnic profiles of Northeast indigenous communities. It is still poorly understood whether agriculture, particularly rice and millet were introduced as a result of incursive waves of farming communities from further east or an autochthonous process with cultural continuity beginning from a hunting-gathering subsistence pattern to agriculture and animal domestication. Therefore, our on-going research in the caves and rockshelter sites of the Mimi region around the Naga Metamorphics and the adjoining Naga Hills Ophiolite Belt bordering Myanmar seek to address a pertinent and long-standing concern – do we observe a regional transition from predominantly hunting- gathering and foraging to agriculture with localised neolithisation process from the region’s archaeological dataset?

Anthropogenic Dark Earth Colloquium (ADEC)

Oct 04, 2022 to Oct 08, 2022

The term ‘Anthropogenic Dark Earth’ (ADE) is not well defined, although since the 1980s, thick and homogeneous dark soil layers with little sign of stratification were described as ADE. They are rich in organic material and charcoal, which gives them a characteristic dark colour. Such soils appear in ancient rural and urban settlements, in many chronological and geographical contexts.

Despite similar character, ADEs were formed by diverse social practices and environmental processes. Since the first description, development of research, especially in geoarchaeological analysis, has pointed out a great variety of possible origins of ADE. Today it is well known that the ADE phenomenon is widespread far beyond Northwestern Europe. They are an archive of information concerning environmental and social change, subsistence and resilience strategies. While a growing number of case studies examining the ADE phenomenon appeared, there is still a lack of coherent research methodology hindering the possibility of comparative studies on the global scale.

Independent from cultural and environmental conditions, all types of ADE apparently developed by intensive utilization of settlement space as a result of deposition of waste, charred residues, and biomass ashes. A comparative study of ADE in different environmental and chronological settings can be an important step forward towards a general understanding of the ADE phenomenon, which may generate contributions to today’s issues like increasing urbanization, climatic crisis and circular economy. In this regard, the interdisciplinary workshop Anthropogenic Dark Earth Colloquium (ADEC) wants to make a first step towards a comprehensive understanding of the Dark Earth phenomenon from a comparative global perspective. Leading specialists in this field will come together and discuss the development of a coherent interdisciplinary research methodology for both, approaches to sample analysis and interpretations in social and environmental contexts. The ADEC will take place in Kiel from 4th to 8th October, including excursions to Hedeby and Lübeck, two UNESCO World Heritage sites connected to the Dark Earth Phenomenon in Schleswig-Holstein. The event is partly hold in a hybrid format.

ROOTS Project workshop „The Forest Finns as a Model for the Early Slavic Migration“ in Svabensverk, Dalarna, Sweden.

Sep 19, 2022 to Sep 23, 2022

Ethnohistorical-geoarchaeological studies on the subrecent Forest Finns in Sweden and Norway serve as a model for method development of analytical approaches on the archaeological visibility of mobile groups, their subsistence and materiality, as well as on their socio-cultural dynamics and crisis management in the context of climatic changes. The early Slavic migration in the southern Baltic region in the middle of the 1st millennium AD provides an example to verify this model approach. At an international project workshop with experts from various disciplines in the natural sciences and humanities, the work done so far in the project will be discussed and evaluated, and the next steps will be discussed. The workshop will take place in the traditional environment of the Forest Finns in the Swedish province of Dalarna.

Internationale Tagung: Stadterweiterungen

Jun 09, 2022 to Jun 11, 2022

Internationales Begegnungszentrum (IBZ), Kiellinie 5, 24105 Kiel

Die Vielzahl und Dimensionierungen der Stadterweiterungen im späteren Mittelalter lassen Aufbruchstimmung und Zukunftsoptimismus erkennen. Trotz geringer Ressourcen wurden Vergrößerungen und Erweiterungen großflächig und auf erheblichen Zuwachs angelegt. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen wurden nahezu alle hochmittelalterlichen Stadtringe erweitert. Der materielle „Fußabdruck“ dieser komplexen Vorgänge sind neue Mauern, Straßen und Gebäude, mitunter sogar Gebäudetypen. Politisch und rechtlich erforderten Stadterweiterungen vor allem die Integration des „Neuen“ und die jeweilige Aushandlung von Rechtspositionen. Altstädte, Altstadterweiterungen oder auch „Neustädte“ mussten politisch, sozial und ökonomisch funktional interagieren können. Ziel der Tagung ist es, Perspektiven auf Topographie, Architektur, Verfassung, Wirtschaft und Alltagskultur auf die Stadterweiterungen interdisziplinär zusammenzuführen, sowie in größere Konjunkturen und Aufschwungsphasen einzuordnen.

Scientific colloquium commemorating the 140^th anniversary of Franz Boas‘ doctorate at Kiel University

140 years after Franz Boas‘ doctorate, we renew Kiel‘s early connection to this outstanding scholar with a scientific colloquium. Drawing on his later seminal works, we will discuss developing trends, recent advancements, and enrich points of contact between the archaeological and anthropological frameworks. In keeping with Boas‘ advocacy of close collaboration between archaeology, cultural, and social anthropology, the colloquium will bridge viewpoints from fields such as prehistory and early history, historical and contemporary archaeology, ethnography, social and cultural anthropology, and philosophical reflection.

Conference: “Medical Knowledge and its 'Sitz im Leben': Body and Horror in Antiquity”

Nov 18, 2021 to Nov 20, 2021

Hybrid: Kiel University, Room 105, Leibnizstr. 1, 24118 Kiel + Zoom Videoconference

Conference: “Medical Knowledge and its 'Sitz im Leben': Body and Horror in Antiquity”

This conference explores ancient and modern concepts of horror with reference to the human body. The aim is to examine how the body is processing, affectively as well as cognitively, horrifying experiences as well as how it can turn itself into a source of horror, e.g. in contexts of sickness and death.
 While we are firmly aware of the fact that ‘horror’ as a largely post-Romantic concept is not unproblematic when applied to Greek and Latin texts, we will try to show that its classical antecedents and roots must be considered as they might shed light on the ways in which the horrific, as a category that shapes our encounter with various forms of art but also with life itself, is understood today.

International Colloquium: Built Ritual Space

Oct 21, 2021 to Oct 23, 2021

tda

The Use and Perception of Religious Cult Buildings in Ancient (City/Polis) Sanctuaries

This interdisciplinary colloquium explores the utilisation of enclosed roofed cult buildings (temples, churches) in ancient societies and their significance in the context of ritual and social practices in urban contexts.

The main focus will be on the Mediterranean area and the neighbouring regions and chronologically ranging from Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. The geographical and chronological framework is intentionally wide to grasp the specific problem of dealing with enclosed cult buildings, usually called temples, in all their diversity.
