The Society for East Asian Archaeology (SEAA) is pleased to invite you to join us in London and Oxford for the Silk Roads Archaeology Workshop. The two-day event offers a free visit to the Silk Roads exhibition (https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/silk-roads) at the British Museum on 7 November, and a one-day in-person workshop at the China Centre, University of Oxford.

This workshop provides an opportunity for researchers to enjoy the exciting exhibition on how the journey of people, objects and ideas through the Silk Roads shaped cultures and histories across the world, and to present their own works on any new insights or discoveries relating to Silk Roads Archaeology. We look forward to receiving proposals for paper presentations. Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Archaeological scientific approaches to Silk Roads related topics
  • Theoretical themes pertaining to the Silk Roads, such as exploring movement or exchange
  • Papers that focus on a particular site, region, or culture where technologies, artistic styles, or belief systems were under the impact of networks formed through the Silk Roads

The length of individual talks will be approximately 10-15 minutes, although the specifics will ultimately depend on the final number of proposed talks. The workshop language is English.

Information about SEAA, SEAA membership, and the Silk Roads Archaeology Workshop (including the relevant membership, registration and proposal forms) is available on the SEAA website: https://www.seaa-web.org/.

The deadline for the submission of presentation and registration of the workshop is August 31, 2024.
