Meeting Description: 

Section: Archaeology and Language – and the future of archaeo-linguistic studies

The questions we would like to raise in this section concern the future for ‘archaeo-linguistic’ research, what can we learn from each other and what kinds of research questions are in particular suitable for future integrated studies? The main goal of this session is to present new and ongoing studies that combine aspects of archaeology and linguistics, theoretical perspectives on the field of archaeo-linguistics and, hopefully, encourage new fruitful studies on archaeology and language.
