The following six themes define the framework of the Istanbul 2014 EAA Annual Meeting ; the decision to select these themes was taken within the context of incorporating a wide range of subjects covering all time periods on a supra-regional level. In order to concert with the objective of EAA, the Scientific Committee considers the first theme “Connecting seas – across the borders” as the prime theme of the Istanbul Meeting.
- Connecting seas – across the borders
- Managing archaeological heritage : past and present
- Ancient technologies in social context
- Environment and subsistence : the geosphere, ecosphere and human interaction
