Workshop on the Economic Utility of Olive 27-28 Sept Cambridge
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 ‘conferences’ page, or contact me by return email.
Regards, Robyn Veal (and Charlene Murphy)
