In mid-November, the subcluster ROOTS of Inequalities hosted a workshop on the topic of “Inequalities in Past Societies”. Further insights into the event and information about the debates that took place can now be found on the ROOTS website:

Publications on this interesting and important topic will be available soon.

How did inequalities emerge in human societies in the past, and how were they tackled or avoided? This question is the focus of this week's workshop organised by our subcluster ‘Roots of Inequalities’, which has brought experts from @universiteitleiden, @UiB, @unileipzig, #UniHamburg, Beijing (China), Copenhagen (DK), Aarhus and the @cnrs Lyon (France) to @kieluni. Today, the workshop continues with sessions on inequalities in settlements, in connection with economics and trade, and the question of what languages have to do with inequalities.

Drückende Mittagshitze am Oberlauf des Euphrat, kalte Nächte in der mongolischen Steppe, drohende Fluten im schleswig-holsteinischen Wattenmeer – unsere Forschenden arbeiten in unterschiedlichsten Regionen der Erde. Ihr gemeinsames Ziel ist es, die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Umwelt vergangener Gesellschaften zu entschlüsseln. Jetzt erscheint bei #wbgAcademic im Verlag #Herder ein Bildband, der mit 170 ausgesuchten Fotografien einen faszinierenden Einblick in diese Arbeit bietet.

The Kiel Conference #KielScales25 at @kieluni ended last Friday with an appeal #fordemocracy and #academicfreedom: https://www.uni-kiel.de/en/cluster-roots/details/news/2025-04-04-kiel-conference Afterwards, many participants took the opportunity to go on excursions, for example to the CAU's Medical History Collection or the Albersdorf Archaeological-Ecological Centre
#Archaeology #paleoecology #pastsocieties

That was day 4 of the Kiel Conference 2025: sessions on current archaeological bachelor's and master's projects, human mobility, Neolithic seascapes, identities and social connections or architecture as a microuniverse of prehistoric societies, among others. This was followed in the evening by Katharina Rebay-Salisbury's inspiring keynote speech on ‘Sex, Gender and the Third Science Revolution’.

Yesterday, #KielScales25 was about #RaisingWaters, obsolete conecpts in Archaeology, #ScalesofTransformation or contacts between Danes and Slavs in the #MiddleAges. The day ended with an inspiring keynote lecture by Carla Jaimes Betancourt on urbanism and landscape engineering in Pre-Columbian Bolivia. Today we are continuing some topics, but also adding new ones, for example #AIinArchaeology. The whole programme: https://events.kielconference25.smart-abstract.com/#/grid/2025-03-26

What is the Kiel Conference "Scales of Social, Environmental and Cultural Change in Past Societies"? What is its focus? We asked the conference president Johannes Müller:

A new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews reveals how early farmers in Scandinavia adapted to changing environmental conditions—for example, by developing new house types.

Average ambient temperatures influence the development of languages. This is shown by a study published today in @PNASNexus by ROOTS member Søren Wichmann together with colleagues from Nankai University (Tianjin, China). As this influence happens very slowly, it may also be possible to reconstruct social processes of the past on the basis of this finding.
