The Division of ArchaeoSciences – the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB) is pleased to announce the 11th ArchaeoSciences Seminar.
These seminars are an original initiative of our division that has the goal of providing a setting for professionals in the Archaeological Sciences field from different parts of the world, to share knowledge, and transmit meaningful information about the latest issues regarding the current methods and approaches used to study the past. It is also a chance for Romanian students to learn more about the various interdisciplinary aspects of archaeology.
This seminar will take place on 14th October 2020, online, and our guest speaker is dr. Anca Dan from CNRS-ENS, University Paris Science Lettres, France.
She will give an online presentation entitled “Ainos in Thrace: An Interdisciplinary Perspective”.
Anca Dan is Assistant Research Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology in the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), at the École Normale Supérieure (Paris, France). Her primary research interests center on the historical geography of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, investigated through the critical confrontation of maps and texts (she edits and comments from manuscripts and inscriptions) and geoarchaeological data (obtained and interpreted by the geophysicists, geomorphologists, geochemists, paleobiologists and archaeologists with whom she collaborates). Her current work concerns the reconstruction of the ancient environments of Ainos (modern Enez, in Turkey’s province of Edirne), the Danube Delta (Romania) and the Taman peninsula (Russia). Anca Dan favors interdisciplinary and international collaboration in projects of 4D modelisation of ancient sites, for a better understanding of the interaction between man and nature.
Due to the special measures imposed by COVID-19 pandemic, the lecture will be online, starting with 11:00 am (CET), via Google Meet Platform:
