Where? Kreuzlingen, Switzerland
When? 12-18 April 2015
International legislation like the International Lake
Constance Conference or Valetta Treaty, call for the "conservation and maintenance
of the archaeological heritage, preferably in situ". Since 1996 research into
in situ preservation has been presented at a series of international
conferences: Preserving Archaeological Remains In Situ (PARIS). The fifth of these conferences will be held
in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland in April 2015.
The key aim of the conference is to present and discuss
the latest knowledge, focusing on long term studies of degradation and
monitoring of archaeological sites preserved in situ in urban, rural and marine
environments.
The multidisciplinary nature of the previous PARIS
conferences, bringing together scientists
heritage managers and policy makers, was one of their main strengths.
Considering this the organizers call for presentations from practitioners and stakeholders
to cover 6 themes:
- Preserving the archaeology of the Lake Constance area
- Past mitigation: Successes and failures
- Preservation in a changing climate and in extreme environments
- Degradation processes and rates of degradation
- First things first: Priorities for preservation
- (Monitoring) + Mitigation
All sessions will be led by a chairman who will both
evaluate and comment upon the presentations.
These presentations are planned to be published by Maney
Publishing in a special volume edition of Conservation
and Management of Archaeological Sites.
