International Conference on Paphlagonia and Pontus in Antiquity and
the early Byzantine Period (7th c. BC-7th c. AD)
May 31-June 4, 2008 / Izmir, Turkey
First Circular - Call for Papers
Dear Colleagues,
An international conference on Paphlagonia and Pontus in antiquity
and the early Byzantine period (7th c. BC-7th c. AD) will take
place between May 31st and June 4th, 2008 at the Dokuz Eylul
University in Izmir, Turkey.
The conference is jointly organised by the Department of
Archaeology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Dokuz Eylul University,
Izmir and The Centre for Classics and
Archaeology, School of Historical Studies, University of Melbourne.
This conference will be organised as a part of the Paphlagonia
Project, a long-term archaeological field project in central
Paphlagonia.
We invite papers from scholars and graduate students on any aspect
of Paphlagonia and Pontus in the above period. The conference aims
to bring together participants from throughout the world to discuss
a range of issues concerning this North Anatolian landscape and
encourage dialogue amongst and between Classical and Near Eastern
archaeologists, ancient historians, classicists and all other
disciplines from Classical, Near Eastern and Anatolian Studies.
Paphlagonia is an area of the central Black Sea coastal region of
Turkey, situated between Bithynia and Pontus, and separated from
Galatia by an eastern outlier of the Bithynian Olympus. It is a
mountainous district with the Halys as its chief river; along its
coast were a number of colonies, including Greek Sinope. It was a
contact zone between the Greeks of the Black Sea region and the
Iron Age population of Central Anatolia.
The conference seeks papers on both the adaptation and change and
the continuity of culture(s) over time and space, and on the
construction of ethnic identities in the culturally diverse area of
Paphlagonia and Pontus. Participants are encouraged to explore all
kinds of evidence on the region and its relations with other areas
(Galatia, Bithynia, Propontis, Thrace, Colchis/Georgia, Armenia,
the rest of the Black Sea, etc.), including textual,
archaeological, artistic, anthropological, numismatic and
epigraphic, from Archaic to Early Byzantine times.
A post-conference excursion is planned on June 4th to both of the
archaeological museums of Izmir and to the excavations at Agora and
Old Smyrna.
Papers may be given in any Western European languages (English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish) and in Turkish, although English
is preferred for both oral and poster presentations.
We hope that you will be able to participate.
