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.

Veranstaltungsort:
Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Johanna-Mestorf-Hörsaal,

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.

Anmeldung:
Teilnahme kostenlos. Anmeldungen bis zum 25.05.2022 an Frau Göldner wiso-sekretariat@histosem.uni-kiel.de

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.
