A particularly important part of the study is the careful selection of the samples to which various analytical methods will be applied. Proper sampling contributes to the formulation of innovative archaeological questions related to the use of fire in prehistoric Greece 💀 🔥

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Early career scholars are invited to contribute through their work to the contextualization of fire in prehistoric Aegean by examining fire in two main axes: a) the concept and the perception of fire b) the material dimension of it ⬇️ forms.gle/6XkMa5cA1s3ujgeBA
