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)

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.

Background information:
The Science At Risk Emergency Office and the Science at Risk Lecture Series
The Science at Risk Emergency Office - founded by Akademisches Netzwerk Osteuropa e. V. in August 2020 and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office - supports students and academics threatened and demonstrably endangered by the war in Ukraine by bundling and providing offers of assistance and support. Specifically, it places those affected from the target countries in study and doctoral positions as well as teaching and research assignments at German universities and research institutions and in a mentoring programme initiated by the Science At Risk Office.
In addition, it organises a virtual lecture series, the Science at Risk Lecture Series, with the participation of scientists at risk from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. This enables colleagues to present and continue their academic work in a secure online environment. The aim is to bring together scientific voices from different scientific systems, which can lead to fruitful collaborations in the future.
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".
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.

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)

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.

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 140th 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

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.
