ScapeCon 8

On 1 November 2025 abstracts (~250 words in English) are due for the ScapeCon 8 – No Escape: Timing, to be held on 28–29 May 2026 at the University of Catania. Further information is available at https://scapecon8.sciencesconf.org/. Contributions are invited drawing from archaeology, iconography, bioarchaeology, epigraphy, and innovative interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., ethnoarchaeology, energetics, legacy data integration) that explore the temporal rhythms of Aegean societies from the Neolithic to the end of the Bronze Age, with a focus on:
• Economic activities and seasonality
• Settlement and architecture in response to climatic cycles
• Daily life and biorhythms
• Rituals and sacred time
• Astronomy and calendrical systems
• Symbolic representations of time
