Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World

Call For Papers: The Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World Section invites paper proposals on the following topics. 1) Reading Sacred Landscapes. A joint session with the Space, Place, and Lived Experience in Antiquity Section that initiates a series of meetings exploring the intersection of realia and theory. This year's themes include the discovery and/or articulation of the sacred in natural settings, the physical bearings and religious experiences of rural sanctuaries, and the creation and recreation of sacred landscapes in other contexts. 2) The Way We Think Now: Reassessment of Known Monuments. Our interpretation of artifacts and complexes often shifts when new data comes to light, when accepted arguments are disproven, and when new methods are brought into play. We solicit papers on the reconsideration of archaeological materials that lead to a reinterpretation of religious institutions and practices. 3) Open call for papers on the interpretation of archaeological materials related to religious phenomena in the Mediterranean region during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
