Hello Everyone,

I’m organizing a session for the 2016 SHA conference entitled, "Environmental Archaeology and Historical Ecology: Present and Future Directions."  The symposium title and abstract are included below, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  We welcome the chance to add a couple more papers to what is shaping up to be a nice collection of presentations and research topics.

Symposium—"Environmental Archaeology and Historical Ecology: Present and Future Directions"
Eric Proebsting and Ashley Peles (co-chair)

This
 symposium draws together a collection of current research that 
demonstrates the interpretive potential of plant, animal, and landscape 
data for addressing significant cultural and historical questions. The 
studies are unified by an interdisciplinary approach that bridges both 
the natural and cultural realms and moves past methodological concerns 
to reach meaningful interpretations, showing the present and future 
value of environmental approaches to historical archaeology.


Please e-mail me off list by Monday (June 22) with a title and brief description of your proposed presentation if you are interested in taking part!

All the best,

Eric
