DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a joint endeavour between the Department of Co
 evolution of Land Use and Urbanisation at the Max Planck Institute of Geoa
 nthropology\, Bournemouth University\, and Göttingen University as part o
 f a joint AHRC-DFG funded project. The event will bring together a diverse
  network of scholars and Indigenous community members exploring Atlantic F
 orest history\, ecology\, and culture across space and time.The workshop w
 ill take place over two days (14th and 15th of September). The first day w
 ill involve presentation of the results of the project COMPLEG project\, o
 n which Patrick Roberts is one of the PIs\, and involve coordination of ou
 tputs and final steps needed to complete the project goals. This will invo
 lve input from invite international experts and Indigenous community membe
 rs. The second day will involve discussions on paths forward for future fu
 nding opportunities\, further outputs\, and further project ideas\, benefi
 tting from the invited experts and stakeholders present.

DESCRIPTION:Efforts to address the Anthropocene are increasingly guided by 
 sophisticated models that identify pathways for large-scale socio-ecologic
 al transformation. Yet such approaches often presuppose that proposed inte
 rventions can be translated into practice without sufficiently accounting 
 for how competing claims to justice are negotiated on the ground. Building
  on recent work on justice regimes\, this talk argues that transformations
  are structured by the coexistence of plural and often conflicting normati
 ve orders that are only partially commensurable...\nSpeaker: Olaf Zenker\,

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how emerging biomolecular techniques might t
 ransform our ability to reconstruct the history of infectious disease in p
 ast populations. While ancient DNA has provided important insights into th
 e presence of specific pathogens\, it is limited to detecting certain infe
 ctions at or near the time of death. By integrating palaeoproteomics with 
 ancient genomics\, my work aims to move beyond pathogen detection toward a
  more complete understanding of individual disease histories. I will outli
 ne the methodological challenges of detecting and authenticating ancient p
 athogen and immune proteins and propose next steps in the development of t
 his field.\nSpeaker: Christiana Scheib

DESCRIPTION:The Antarctic Ice Sheet is the single largest source of uncerta
 inty in long-term sea level rise\, with model ensembles contributing to th
 e most recent IPCC AR6 spanning over 4 metres of projected contribution by
  2300. Here\, I review recent ice sheet model outputs\, showing that near-
 term ice loss is remarkably predictable: across IPCC AR6 ice sheet models\
 , present-day loss rates scale approximately linearly with mid-century pro
 jections\, regardless of emission scenario or model complexity. Beyond mid
 -century\, processes that cause accelerating ice loss intensify and this p
 redictability breaks down. Considering historical ice loss\, I also presen
 t recent modelling advances on a new detection and attribution framework t
 o isolate the anthropogenic footprint in observed Antarctic change\, and d
 iscuss what this implies for future committed sea level rise.\nSpeaker: Fe

DESCRIPTION:Fossil micromammals (including rodents\, insectivores\, and bat
 s) are key proxies for reconstructing past environments\, climates\, and c
 hronological frameworks. They are highly sensitive to environmental change
 s and are commonly well preserved in the fossil record.Their taxonomic div
 ersity\, combined with diagnostic morphological features\, allows for prec
 ise identification and robust quantitative analyses. Standard methodologie
 s integrate field recovery\, laboratory identification\, morphometric meas
 urements\, and statistical approaches to infer paleoecological and paleocl
 imatic conditions.The study of fossil small mammal assemblages enables the
  reconstruction of past habitats and the estimation of climatic parameters
  such as temperature and precipitation. In addition\, micromammals provide
  high-resolution biostratigraphic and biochronological frameworks based on
  patterns of faunal succession.A series of case studies illustrates the wi
 de range of applications and potential of micromammal-based research in bi
 ochronology and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.\nSpeaker: Claudio Berto

DESCRIPTION:Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to new or rapidly 
 changing environments quickly\, including high-altitude\, Arctic and arid 
 ones. While we can assume shared biological factors at the root of human i
 nnovative capacity\, the adaptation to different environments was primaril
 y accomplished through behavioral rather than genetic plasticity. The natu
 re and tempo of modern human dispersals within and out of Africa indicate 
 that the complex social and behavioral foundations underlying the ability 
 to adapt to novel environmental conditions were likely already in place pr
 ior to the dispersals.\nSpeaker: Matthias Blessing

DESCRIPTION: In the US\, universities and disciplines have been increasingl
 y challenged to demonstrate their value. In some contexts\, value is couch
 ed in market terms\, such as return-on-investment (ROI). Faculty have gene
 rally recoiled against the intrusion of business-oriented ideologies into 
 universities. But the resistance often focuses on maintaining the status q
 uo rather than evaluating and addressing the nature of these conversations
  about academia’s value. One response has been to develop “applied” 
 avenues to tie one’s disciplinary relevance to others' rather than to de
 velop our own strategies to provide more accurate representations of our d
 iscipline’s value. However\, focusing on only academic relevance has bec
 ome less effective. External forces have changed the employment landscape\
 , the nature of research funding\, and the structure of higher education i
 nstitutions. Unfortunately\, disciplines that appear to have limited relev
 ance are at greater risk of being under- or de-funded. In this talk\, I di
 scuss how we can think about relevance more broadly across context\, scale
 \, and stakeholders in archaeology and academia in general.\nSpeaker: Lisa
