Ever since the early days of archaeology, the phenomenon of humans living together in large and continuously occupied sites and settlements has been a subject of intensive research. Such agglomerations – be they camp sites, villages, towns, or cities – must be understood as products of complex social, environmental and economic processes. Today, a vast number of case studies from a multitude of periods and regions exist that provide valuable data on settlement development and processes of social change. Thus, it is time to work with greater emphasis on a theoretical and methodical framework which would enable a comparative evaluation of these data, crossing the boundaries of research traditions. Such a comparative approach renders it possible to improve the understanding of the dynamics from a long-term perspective, going beyond traditional settlement archaeology. We invite speakers to present case studies dealing with changing forms of agglomerations for either prehistoric or historic periods. Participants should focus on aspects with potential for comparative studies. We particularly welcome contributions on methodical approaches with a strong theoretical emphasis.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
