“Bronze Age Sovjan in its Environmental Context“

In the third Meeting of the GAD Seminar Series, Susan Allen of the University of Cincinnati gave a very interesting presentation on “Bronze Age Sovjan in its Environmental Context“. Through a series of interesting analysis and charts, Allen pointed out the trajectory of environmental changes around the settlement and outlined the dynamic relationships between man and its natural setting throughout the Bronze Age. Particularly interesting was the identification of changes in the diet from middle to late Bronze Age, as attested by paleo-botanical remains of the site deposits. Of interest was also the presentation of site catchments analysis and its comparison with the results of the ethno-archaeological research in the modern village. The event was well attended and the participants raised a number of interesting questions and discussions.
