CALL FOR PAPERS

Advances and Methods
in
Medieval Mediterranean History and Archaeology

         Numerous publications exist which discuss the differences between
archaeological and historical evidence and the conclusions based on each.
Unfortunately, this discussion is often part of an attempt to show how much
more accurate, important, or valid one is than the other. The aim of the
planned book is to counter this tendency and to show the great advances in
our knowledge of the medieval Mediterranean that can be made and have been
made by working together or combining information. Interdisciplinary
research including scholars from the hard sciences, for example, has
already proven itself to be very fruitful.
As such the editors would like to solicit contributions from scholars that
discuss new conclusions reached or research undertaken as a result of
combining the evidence available from these fields or as a result of
working together on a specific project. Although this book is not meant to
be a forum for field or site reports per se, the results of synthetic
studies including those carried out in the field are entirely welcome. Also
welcome are contributions discussing the various methodological aspects
involved in working across the disciplines of archaeology and history. The
editors would like to encourage studies that stress the integration of the
information gained from research in both fields. Co-authored submissions
are also welcome.
This collection of papers will ultimately be published by Brill as part of
its Mediterranean studies list. This preliminary call is for abstracts
concerning the Medieval Mediterranean (AD 700-1500). The provisional title
of the book is Advances and Methods in Mediterranean History and Archaeology.
Please send a 1-2 page abstract along with a copy of your CV by September
30 to the either of the addresses given below. Abstracts should be in
English, although other modern European languages will be considered. Final
papers should be 8000-11000 word papers (including notes and illustrations)
in English or another modern European language and will be due 1 year from
the acceptance of the abstract.

Please include your e-mail, telephone and fax numbers, and postal addresses
for your home and office.
