Towns are socio-ecosystems consisting of the environment (soils, water, plants, animals etc.) and human society with its values, knowledge, beliefs, technology and social organization. This system is constantly changing. Population, resources, and microbes are coming to towns; waste is going out, buildings and infrastructure are deteriorating, and the weather is changing. Humans and the environment constantly interact. These interactions are mutual, not determined by one of the sides. Human society and environment are entangled, although the decisive factor differentiating human ecosystems from biological ecosystems is culture - a set of beliefs, traditions, cosmologies, and knowledge that shapes human behaviours. As a result, change in landscape and built environment, human social practices, and change in environment are driven by the interaction between material and mental processes. How interaction between mental and material processes is pivotal to the transformation of past urban sites/settlements/agglomerations/societies poses the most significant challenge for studies of past urban sites.

Poster for Colloquium Medeival 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).
