Landscape Archaeology Conference

The University of Bamberg invites you to the ninth international Landscape Archaeology Conference (LAC), which will take place between 18-21 March 2026 in the historical city center of Bamberg (Germany). The LAC provides an excellent opportunity for experts and students of different disciplines to discuss new research on past landscapes. Landscape archaeology studies the relationships between human occupation strategies, material culture, and the natural environment in the past. It is essentially interdisciplinary and employs a broad range of approaches and methods from the humanities and the natural sciences. As such, the LAC brings together archaeologists, earth and environmental scientists, cultural scientists, and researchers from neighboring disciplines. The main goal of the conference is to enhance and synthesize our understanding of human-environment interactions in the past, in particular of cultural responses to changing conditions.
