The 4th International Landscape Archaeology Conference will be hosted by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History.

Following previous conferences held in Amsterdam (2010), Berlin (2012) and Rome (2014), the aim of the LAC2016 conference is to provide a platform for archaeologists, anthropologists, human and physical geographers, earth scientists and researchers from cognate disciplines to present and discuss results, methods and theories around the broad fields of landscape archaeology, landscape research more generally, and historical ecology. The conference aspires to cross conventional divides between nature and culture, mind and matter, and to bring together perspectives on landscapes past and present from the humanities and social and environmental sciences.

Eduardo Herrera is organizing the session Crossing Boundaries: exploring the limits of “landscape”.

Furthermore he is presenting two papers at this conference;
– “Landscape”: Archaeology critically contextualizes one of its key concepts.
– Contested Taskscapes: On perceptions of the environment in the age of colonial encounter.
