Dear Listmembers, (apologies for cross listing)
A workshop on the Economic Utility of Olive will be held on Sept 27 and 28
at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Downing St,
University of Cambridge.
The workshop has the goals of addressing the technical and
representativeness challenges of combining archaeobotanical, and other data
specifically for olive; and movement towards an economic model for olive
production and consumption in Lazio/Campania. Papers have been accepted
which cover:
1. The different environmental evidence types: wood, seeds as food, seeds
as ritual offerings, pollen, uses of olive oil, olive pressings as fuel, and
as fertilizer and animal food; and their varying levels of
representativeness in the archaeological record; and
2. The complementary archaeological, ethnographic and historical
evidence: amphorae, frescoes, history, and epigraphy especially with
regard to Campania/Lazio.
All are welcome and attendance is free (with a small charge for tea/coffee
and lunch). There is however, limited seating and so an RSVP would be
appreciated.
There is still some limited space for a few more papers. Full details may
be downloaded from
http://www.robynveal.com/conferences.html or my academia.edu Śconferencesą
page, or contact me by return email.
Regards, Robyn Veal (and Charlene Murphy)
