Session Details
\nVolcanic eruptions may have a diverse and occasionally devastating impact upon human cultures and the environment, which may be apparent in archaeological records, in oral and written accounts and in palaeoenvironmental data such as tree rings, lake sediments and peat cores. Civilizations may successfully exist in close proximity to active volcanoes and thrive, whilst distant cultures may be affected by volcanically induced environmental change; we invite archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, geologists, historians and palaeoenvironmentalists to engage in debate concerning these issues and present the results of their recent research.<\/p>\n
This topic is important because volcanic eruptions have affected human development since early hominids left their footprints in tephra fall. Throughout human history many cultures have developed under the influence of volcanic activity, sometimes malign, but frequently benign, how are these effects to be determined? This proposal aims to encourage debate of a series of key questions, which will develop the maturity of disaster archaeology.

Session Details
\nOver the last several decades a crisis has emerged within archaeology regarding the use and accessibility of archaeological collections. Artifacts have been entombed in repositories, basements and boxes, underutilized by professional researchers, students and the public. This problem is the result of too much emphasis within archaeology being placed on research and data collection through new excavations and not enough attention being given to artifacts once they have been removed from the field. In other words, the value of collections-based research has been long overlooked. A potential for new research surely lies in archaeological collections, because there are always new questions that can be asked of the same artifacts as our theoretical and methodological orientations change. The goal of this session is to explore innovative uses for collections and ways to increase accessibility through curation, education and the dissemination of information through new forms of media.
