How to submit the proposal
In the 3rd century CE began a period of economic, political, social, and religious
changes that paved the way for all those events that led to the crisis and fall of
the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century. The whole of Western Europe
underwent a great socio-cultural transformation and reorganization caused by
the invasion of barbarian or non-Romanised western and eastern peoples
(Goths, Franks, Lombards, etc.), and due to economic crisis, climatic changes,
conflicts and the spread of infectious diseases and epidemics. Trade networks
for supplies shifted towards the East causing new patterns of mobility and
movement of people resulting in high inter-individual heterogeneity. These
changes affected the areas of the Empire in different ways, especially the limes
areas characterised by military occupation.
Anthropology can trace the effects of changes in the life of individuals through
the analysis of skeletal remains. Similarly, archaeology attempts to answer the
question of whether the funerary practices of this period reflect changes in
beliefs and society. For instance, ways of displaying and commemorating the
dead shifted after the spread of Christianity, and funerary structures reflect a
shared ideology and symbols between Christians and pagans.
The purpose of this session is to combine two disciplines, funerary archaeology,
and physical anthropology to explore the social and cultural changes from the
3rd to 7th century CE.
Contributions should include a multidisciplinary perspective, bringing together
the analysis of human remains with burial patterns to address the same
question. Papers may cover not only the mobility, genetics, demography, diet,
and health of individuals of the period, but also the funerary contexts, grave
goods, and material culture from various geographical areas, different social
contexts, rural or urban areas, throughout the Roman Empire. This session
aims to bring together bio-anthropological and archaeological studies to share
and update the latest findings.
