SCAPECON 2022 : TOWARDS AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF FRAGMENTATION IN THE AEGEAN BRONZE AGE CLAEYS THÉRÈSE

This volume encompasses studies of diverse archaeological data, such as bones, vases and sherds, seals, jewellery, and architecture but also digital data. In terms of methodological approaches, it focuses on artistic, textual, cross-disciplinary, iconographic, statistical, computational, experimental, theoretical, and lab analytical approaches. ScapeCon is an international conference series aimed specifi cally at early career scholars, including MA and PhD students. It is organised since 2018 by and for junior researchers with the aim of providing a platform for them as they take their initial steps into the academic realm, and of facilitating the exploration and dissemination of their research on the Aegean Bronze Age within an encouraging and supportive atmosphere. The present volume brings together 15 papers presented at the occasion of the 5th edition of the ScapeCon conference held at UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, 24-27 November 2022) from among the 31 presentations, posters, and keynote lectures delivered on the theme of fragmentation in the Aegean Bronze Age. Both aspects of material and immaterial fragmentation are discussed within three main themes focused on (1) people, (2) material culture, and (3) archaeological data and through interdisciplinary approaches. Consequently, this volume encompasses studies of diverse archaeological data, such as bones, vases and sherds, seals, jewellery, and architecture but also digital data. In terms of methodological approaches, it focuses on artistic, textual, cross-disciplinary, iconographic, statistical, computational, experimental, theoretical, and lab analytical approaches. The papers cover a wide geographical scope of the Mediterranean, from Crete to Attica, the Peloponnese, Macedonia, Cyprus, and even Egypt. ÉDITION EN VERSION ANGLAISE
