The Annual Round: an Overview of the AEA Conference 1994

T. P. O'Connor

Environmental Archaeology, 1998, vol. 3, issue 1, 1-3

Abstract: The content and main themes of the conference are reviewed in brief. Several papers raised the need for further data from experimentation and modern analogues. The ethnohistorical record is dearly a valuable source of information, though not necessarily of direct analogues for the past, and papers presented here reminded us of the ways in which storage of seasonally acquired resources may result in year-round use, and thus a loss of evidence for seasonal behaviour in the archaeological record. The social importance of seasonality was rather missing from the conference papers, though the point was raised in discussions during the conference.
