Through the examination of these broad aspects, we intend to consider various themes that link ancient communities across time and place.

We welcome proposals for both individual paper (twenty minutes) and organized panel-sessions (three-five papers) from national and international scholars and graduate students. Abstracts for individual papers should not exceed 350 words; proposals for panel-sessions should not exceed 600 words. All submissions should be sent to the organizing committee, at CACW2015@icloud.com, no later than October 17, 2014.
