Mapping Ancient Africa: Schedule of events
Rome 2023
There will be two Mapping Ancient Africa (MAA) events in Rome in July: (i) a MAA workshop, and (ii) a MAA session at the INQUA Rome congress in 2023.
The MAA workshop will be held at the “Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome” on the 12 and 13 July. During the event we will cover the development of manuscripts for the proposed Quaternary International special issue, and planning for the future of the MAA network (future meetings and potential grant applications). This meeting is open to all, is funded by our INQUA grant (so no cost to participate), but does requires registration. If you are interested to participate click here to find out how.
The INQUA Rome session is entitled “Mapping Ancient Africa: Climate, Vegetation & Humans” this session is supported by the Palaeoclimate (PALCOM) and Human and Biosphere (HABCOM) commissions of INQUA. The session is being organised by the MAA team. For further details on the session click here. We have 16 talks and >20 poster presentations invited. We aim to propose a special issue of Quaternary International based around (but not limited to) the papers that will be presented during the session.
