Call for Papers

The Northern Levantine Coast in Late Antiquity
AIA 107th Annual Meeting

The Northern Levantine Coast in Late Antiquity
AIA 107th Annual Meeting
Montréal, 5-8 January 2006

Archaeological research and data on the Levant in late antiquity is still largely concentrated in the South of the region, and in some inland areas such as the North Syrian Limestone Hills. In comparison, the coastal areas of the northern Levantine provinces remain relatively under-explored, and the interpretation of their archaeology relies heavily on models and narratives extrapolated from the hinterland or from neighbouring provinces. To what extent are these models transferable, and to what extent do they resist recent contributions?

Submissions are invited for a colloquium entitled The Northern Levantine Coast in Late Antiquity, proposed for the 107th Annual Meeting of the American Institute of Archaeology (AIA) to be held in Montréal, Québec, Canada, January 5-8, 2006. The colloquium intends to examine how the call for further data and analysis is being addressed, and to promote awareness of recent work in the area (Phoenicia, Western Syria, Cilicia, Isauria, and Cyprus) and of its impact on regional models of economic, social and cultural change. Reports on recent archaeological research (whether field-, archive- or collections-based), regional syntheses and reassessments will be equally welcome.

Submissions must provide: name, professional affiliation and contact details of each presenter (a principal presenter must be designated); title of paper; time requested (10, 15 or 20 minutes); an abstract. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words and must conform to the guidelines provided in the Annual Meeting section of the AIA web site (http://www.archaeological.org). Papers may be submitted and presented in English or French. Participants will normally be requested to hold a membership of the AIA at the time of the Meeting.

Please direct submissions and any questions by e-mail to the session organizer (nicolas.beaudry@umontreal.ca) no later than March 10, 2005.

APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS

The Northern Levantine Coast in Late Antiquity
AIA 107th Annual Meeting
Montréal, 5-8 janvier 2006

Le corpus archéologique de l'antiquité tardive au Levant demeure concentré dans le Sud de la région et dans quelques régions intérieures telles que le Massif Calcaire nord-syrien. En comparaison, la région côtière des provinces du Nord du Levant demeure relativement peu explorée, et l'interprétation de leur archéologie dépend en général de modèles extrapolés de l'arrière-pays ou de provinces voisines. Jusqu'à quel point ces modèles sont-ils ainsi transférables, et jusqu'à quel point résistent-ils aux contributions récentes?

Un colloque intitulé The Northern Levantine Coast in Late Antiquity est prévu dans le cadre du 107e Congrès annuel de l'American Institute of Archaeology (AIA), qui se tiendra à Montréal du 5 au 8 janvier 2006. Le colloque entend constater les réponses apportées au déséquilibre des corpus, favoriser la diffusion de travaux récents dans la région (Phénicie, Syrie occidentale, Cilicie, Isaurie, Chypre) et examiner leur impact sur les modèles régionaux de continuité et de changements économiques, sociaux et culturels. Les contributions pourront prendre la forme de rapports sur des travaux récents (fouilles, prospections, analyse d'archives ou de collections), de synthèses régionales ou d'examens critiques de telles synthèses.

Les propositions de communication devront fournir : le nom, l'affiliation professionnelle et les coordonnées de chaque auteur (un auteur principal devra être désigné) ; le titre de la présentation; le temps requis (10, 15 ou 20 minutes) ; un résumé d'au plus 250 mots et conforme aux normes de l'AIA, disponibles à l'onglet "Annual Meeting" de son site Web (http://www.archaeological.org). Les communications pourront être soumises et présentées en français ou en anglais. Les participants devront normalement être membres de l'AIA au moment du Congrès.

Propositions et questions doivent être adressées par courriel à l'organisateur du colloque (nicolas.beaudry@umontreal.ca), au plus tard le 10 mars 2005.
