ROOTS Publications

       
       
       

The publications of the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS at Kiel University offer an official home for the presentation of scientific outcomes of overarching, interdisciplinary research efforts conducted within ROOTS. The investigations reflect the coordinated efforts of ROOTS researchers and their partners, who explore human-environmental dynamics over a plurality of spatial and temporal scales within different scientific disciplines. The highly lively research agenda of ROOTS, its diverse subclusters and state of the art research set the stage for the resulting publications. 
 

ROOTS Studies

The ROOTS Studies book series presents scientific research proceeding from the implementation of individual and cross-disciplinary projects that address social, environmental, and cultural phenomena as well as processes of past human development in light of the key concept of “connectivity”. The results of specific research topics and themes across various formats, including monographs, edited volumes/proceedings and data collections, are the backbone of this book series.

ROOTS Booklet Series

(in English and German)

The ROOTS Booklet Series presents historical-archaeological research on current topics that is aimed at a wide audience. The booklets revolve around the premise that humans and environments have interwoven roots, which reciprocally influence each other and yield connectivities that can be identified and juxtaposed against current social issues and crises.
