Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World

Call For Papers: The Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World Section invites paper proposals for the following sessions: 1) The archaeological ephemeral: how does our existing material evidence relate to absences and lacunae, to the individual items, and categories of objects, deliberately or accidentally erased or excluded from the archaeological record? What strategies can we responsibly use to account for what is no longer preserved? 2) Surf and Turf: we invite papers that explore connections between land and sea in material culture, in an homage to our meeting site in San Diego. 3) For our third session, which will be co-sponsored with the Senses, Cultures and Biblical Worlds Section, we invite proposals on the senses and material culture: how and why did material culture — objects, spaces, built environments — evoke the sensory experience of the inhabitants of the ancient world? 4) For our fourth session, which will be co-sponsored with the Ancient Fiction and Early Christian and Jewish Narrative section, we invite proposals on travel and location in ancient fiction. 5) As always, we welcome proposals for papers exploring any other topics related to the archaeology of religion in the Roman World.
