The 26th International Symposium Soil Forming Factors and Processes from the Temperate Zone «Soil science and archaeology: research methods and perspectives»
The main goal of the Symposium is to discuss the overall aspects regarding the integration of soil science with different disciplines from humanities and social sciences in order to assess long-term patterns of human-soil interactions over Holocene/Anthropocene timescales. This makes necessary to generate a space for discussions and sharing of ideas, integration of methodological questions and research experiences from several disciplines. We intend to bring together a wide variety of researchers of any field of expertise related to human-environmental interactions who are interested in stimulating further research along with transdisciplinary cooperation. This symposium will be relevant to researchers working in soil science, archaeology, geoarchaeology, bioarchaeology or cultural resources management. The event will also include a two-days field trip in north-eastern Romania, which will approach aspects regarding the genesis, typology and classification of soils from archeological sites and their proximity
