      Naturkatastrophen im Archäologischen Befund

      Freitag, 24. Januar 2025 12:11

      Universität Innsbruck
      Call for Papers
      Naturkatastrophen im Archäologischen Befund
      6./7. November 2025, Aguntum (Dölsach), Austria
      Der 7. Aguntum-Workshop beschäftigt sich mit Naturkatastrophen im archäologischen Befund:
      Erkennbarkeit, Charakteristika und menschliche Reaktionen.
      Naturkatastrophen haben in der Geschichte wiederholt ganze Regionen erschüttert und das Leben der
      Menschen grundlegend verändert. Archäologische Befunde können wertvolle Einblicke in diese
      Ereignisse bieten: Sie zeigen Spuren von Zerstörung, Anpassung und Neubeginn. Doch wie genau
      erkennen wir die Folgen von Naturkatastrophen in der archäologischen Praxis? Welche Hinweise
      geben uns die Befunde, und wie reagierten betroffene Gemeinschaften auf solche Ereignisse? War die
      Zerstörung das Ende einer Besiedlung oder der Beginn eines Wiederaufbaus?
      Wir laden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Archäologie, Geologie, Umweltforschung und
      verwandten Disziplinen ein, Beiträge zu folgenden (und verwandten) Themen einzureichen:
      Erkennbarkeit von Naturkatastrophen im archäologischen Befund:
      • Identifikation spezifischer Spuren von Ereignissen wie Überschwemmungen, Erdbeben,
      Vulkanausbrüchen oder Stürmen.
      • Methodische Ansätze zur Analyse von Zerstörungsschichten.
      • Herausforderungen bei der Unterscheidung zwischen anthropogenen und natürlichen
      Zerstörungen.
      Charakteristika von Zerstörungen:
      • Unterschiede in den Befunden bei verschiedenen Arten von Naturkatastrophen.
      • Kombination archäologischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Daten zur Rekonstruktion von
      Katastrophenereignissen.
      • Einfluss von Erhaltungsbedingungen auf die archäologische Interpretation.
      Menschliche Reaktionen auf Naturkatastrophen:
      • Archäologische Hinweise auf Aufgabe von Siedlungen oder Wiederaufbau.
      • Strategien zur Anpassung an künftige Katastrophen (z. B. Veränderungen in der Bauweise,
      Umsiedlungen).
      • Rituale und kulturelle Ausdrucksformen im Umgang mit Naturkatastrophen.
      Vergleichende Studien und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven:
      • Regionale und kulturelle Unterschiede in der Bewältigung von Naturkatastrophen.
      • Langfristige Folgen von Katastrophen in der Menschheitsgeschichte.
      Einreichung:
      Bitte senden Sie ein Abstract (max. 300 Wörter) bis zum 30.05.2025 an Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein.
      Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Vorschläge und darauf, gemeinsam die Spuren und Auswirkungen von
      Naturkatastrophen in der Vergangenheit zu erforschen!

      Natural Disasters in the Archaeological Record
      6th/7th November 2025, Aguntum (Dölsach), Austria
      The 7th Aguntum Workshop will focus on Natural Disasters in the Archaeological Record:
      Identification, Characteristics, and Human Responses.
      Natural disasters have repeatedly shaken entire regions throughout history, fundamentally altering
      the lives of affected communities. Archaeological records offer valuable insights into these events,
      revealing traces of destruction, adaptation, and renewal. But how exactly can we identify the
      consequences of natural disasters in archaeological practice? What clues do the findings provide, and
      how did affected communities respond to such events? Was destruction the end of a settlement or
      the beginning of reconstruction?
      We invite scholars from archaeology, geology, environmental studies, and related disciplines to submit
      contributions addressing the following (and related) topics:
      Identification of Natural Disasters in the Archaeological Record:
      • Recognizing specific traces of events such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or
      storms.
      • Methodological approaches for analyzing destruction layers
      • Challenges in distinguishing between anthropogenic and natural destruction.
      Characteristics of Destruction:
      • Differences in findings associated with various types of natural disasters.
      • Combining archaeological and scientific data to reconstruct catastrophic events.
      • Influence of preservation conditions on archaeological interpretation.
      Human Responses to Natural Disasters:
      • Archaeological evidence of settlement abandonment or reconstruction.
      • Strategies for adapting to future disasters (e.g., changes in building techniques, relocation).
      • Rituals and cultural expressions related to natural disasters.
      Comparative Studies and Interdisciplinary Perspectives:
      • Regional and cultural differences in coping with natural disasters.
      • Long-term consequences of disasters in human history.
      Submission Details:
      Please submit an abstract (maximum 300 words) by May 30, 2025 to Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein.
      We look forward to your proposals and to exploring the traces and impacts of natural disasters in the
      past together!

      Two fellowships - Advanced Grant Project New Polities

      Mittwoch, 08. Januar 2025 11:51

      The Ghent Centre for Late Antiquity, Ghent University (https://www.gcla.ugent.be/) is offering two fellowships as part of the ERC Advanced Grant Project New Polities. Political Thought in the First Millennium, directed by Prof. P. Van Nuffelen. They are open to scholars specializing in Hebrew, Middle-Persian or Arabic sources. The deadline for application is 1 April 2025.


      YOUR TASKS

        *   At least 70% of your assignment will be spent on academic research.

        *   The ERC Advanced Grant project New Polities. Political Thought in the First Millennium studies political thought in the Mediterranean world, starting from the Roman Empire until the Carolingian, Byzantine and Abbasid Empires. It pays close attention to the many religious and political communities of the period, ranging from new states to religious communities (within Judaeism, Christianity, Manicheism and Islam). The project covers sources in many languages, including Hebrew, Middle-Persian and Arabic.

        *   Within this framework, you will write a monograph on a topic related to the project's aims, including (but not limited to) concepts of social relations, utopias, virtue, law, economic thought and the relation between society, nature and the cosmos.

        *   The monograph will focus primarily on sources in Hebrew, Middle-Persian or Arabic, but a comparative perspective is recommended.

        *   You contribute to a database of commented passages on first millennium political thought.

        *   You participate in, and co-organize, team meetings, workshops and conferences.

        *   You co-supervise one or more PhD students.


      WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

        *   You hold a thesis-based doctorate when you will start the position (obtained max. 6 years before the start of the contract. This term of 6 years is determined by the date written on the above-mentioned required diploma) in a relevant domain, including (but not limited to) Jewish Studies, Arabic and Islamic Studies, Classics, History, Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, and Oriental Studies.

        *   You have a good track record in research, including publications and participation in conferences.

        *   You have a very good knowledge of at least one of the relevant languages (Hebrew, Middle-Persian or Arabic). Knowledge of two or more languages and cultures, or a willingness to acquire additional languages (including Latin, Greek, Syriac, Armenian and Georgian), is an advantage.

        *   You have an interest in working across different traditions and in comparative research.

        *   You have an interest in engaging with other disciplines, in particular philosophy and the history of political thought.

        *   Knowledge of Digital Humanities, or a willingness to acquire this, is an advantage.

        *   Whilst capable of doing independent work, you are also willing to work in a team.

        *   You have good organizational skills.


      WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

        *   We offer you a contract of indefinite duration with a maximum term of 3 years.

        *    Your contract will start on 1/10/2025 at the earliest.

        *   Your remuneration will be determined by salary scale PD1.

        *   All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as a wide range of training and education opportunities, 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed bridge days, a bicycle allowance and eco vouchers.
