HEAS Workshop

We are looking forward to welcoming Paul Goldberg from the University of Tübingen to Vienna on the 11th January 2024 to deliver the opening address for the Geoarchaeology in Vienna workshop.
Abstract
So much of archaeology is concerned with objects, whether they be ceramics, lithics, faunal and floral remains, or even architectural remains, which are essentially large objects. These things have been the mainstay of the archaeological record for centuries. In the last few decades, it has become evident that there is more to understanding what people did in the past than by focussing mainly on the objects. The deposits that enclose them have their own story to tell, and in fact, constitute an important (generally neglected) and essential part of the archaeological record. I will attempt to illustrate these ideas with examples from archaeological sites, at the same time emphasising the concept of context, particularly at the microstratigraphic scale.
