Dr. Amal Al Kassem, from the Institute of Prehistoric Archaeology, University of Cologne, will hold the talk:
‘The impact of the Syrian conflict on archaeological sites in Al-Hasakah and Daraa provinces’.
Abstract:
The construction of two dams in the lower course of the river Sabor (Northeast Portugal) led to the excavation of numerous sites and unprecedented archaeobotanical research, comprising contexts from the Mesolithic to the 19th century. The charcoal analysis and carpological studies conducted allowed the identification of major trends in vegetation history and agriculture in this long time span, with a particular focus on Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman Period. The apparent continuity in agriculture choices and vegetation contrast with changes in human settlements in the valley, highlighting the need for an integrated interpretation of archaeobotanical and archaeological evidence.
Keywords: Archaeobotany, Holocene, Agriculture, Vegetation history, Northwest Iberia.
