Aihe: [Papy] Basel, 27/28.Nov. 2018: "Climate Science & Ancient History. Decoding «Natural» and «Human» Archives"

Dear colleagues,


this November, the Institute of Ancient History at the Department of Ancient Civilizations (University of Basel) is hosting an international conference, linking the discipline of Ancient History with the Environmental and Climate Sciences.


Climate Science & Ancient History.
Decoding «Natural» and «Human» Archives
November 27–28, 2018
Kollegienhaus, Regenzzimmer 111
Petersplatz 1, 4001 Basel


The conference bridges the traditional gap between the Humanities and the Natural Sciences: Researchers from Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Great Britain and the United States will illustrate with interdisciplinary contributions, to what extent the different sciences are capable of assisting and complementing each other in the exploration of past times, regions and cultures.


We warmly invite you to participate in our conference. To register, please send an email to sabine.huebner at unibas.ch<mailto:sabine.huebner at unibas.ch>. For all informations regarding program and location, please see our website https://altegeschichte.philhist.unibas.ch/de/forschung/forschungsprojekte/climate-science/ and the program below.
