Networks in the archaeology of the ancient Aegean
We are excited to welcome you to Heraklion for the 2022 Connected Past conference organized by the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the University of Toronto. The theme for this year is: Networks in the archaeology of the ancient Aegean.
The ancient Aegean and Mediterranean have been key testing grounds for the development of network concepts and methods in archaeology. A distinctive feature of network analysis in these areas is its uptake among both prehistorians and ancient historians, with studies ranging from the Neolithic to Late Antique. This two-day conference brings together scholars working on all periods in the Aegean for an exchange of ideas, methods, and results.
Join us in Heraklion, Crete from August 31 through September 2nd at the Heraklion Conference Centre.
Co-organisers:
- Heraklion Archaeological Museum (Director: Stella Mandalaki; conference contact: Katerina Athanasaki, Head of the Department of Exhibitions, Education and Public Relations)
- University of Toronto (Carl Knappett, Department of Art History)
The conference will take place at the Heraklion Conference Centre, Heraklion, Crete.
Workshop
In addition to the talks, we will also host a practical workshop, offered by The Connected Past group, at which interested researchers can learn some of the basics of network science in practice. This will take place two days before the conference (i.e., August 30 & 31, 2022).
Registration
Associated activities:
- Tour of Heraklion Archaeological Museum www.heraklionmuseum.gr
- The Palace of Knossos
Accommodation
Two local hotels (Lato, and Olive Green) are offering a 15% reduction. If you would like details, please get in touch with Carl or Katerina
