Call for Papers

The View from Here: Cultural History and Ecology of the North Atlantic Region

Université Laval, Québec, Canada
September 2006

A multidisciplinary, international conference on the cultural history and 
ecology of the North Atlantic Region is planned for late September 2006 in 
Québec City, Canada. This call is extended to both researchers and students 
working in archaeology, historical and cultural geography, palaeoecology, 
anthropology, and other related disciplines. This call also includes 
researchers and students active on North Atlantic Biocultural Association 
Projects and those of the Landscapes circa Landnám progamme. Papers are 
expected to fit into the suggested themes below to encourage exchange and 
discussion from all sides of the Atlantic. Methodological papers or 
geographically-limited subjects which do not respond to the conference 
themes may be presented as posters. Students wishing to present their 
proposed graduate research and preliminary results are strongly encouraged 
to pursue this option for inclusion in the poster sessions. Some financial 
support to encourage student participation will be available.


Proposed sessions are (but not limited to):
1.      Economic Decision-Making in the Context of Instability
2.      Early World Systems and Multinationals of the North Atlantic : 
Tales of Fish, Furs and Whales
3.      Colonisation of Landscapes and Anthropogenic Change in Northern 
Landscapes
4.      Dynamics of Small Scale Societies
5.      Physical Landscape Change during the Holocene
6.      The North Atlantic Climatic System:


Please send a 100-150 word abstract, suggested session (if applicable - no 
session required for poster) and indicate whether you wish to present a 
paper or a poster by October 1st, 2005 to one of the conference co-chairs, 
Allison Bain ([log in to unmask]) or Jim Woollett
