2nd Colloquium of Natural History of Landscape Formation

 

I am pleased to inform you that the 2nd Colloquium of Natural History of Landscape Formation had held at Inamori Memorial Foundation Building, Kyoto University on 17th (Saturday) December 2016.

The Colloquium of Natural History of Landscape Formation is set up for exploring into the interrelated two research questions, namely, (1) how hunter-gatherers and the neighboring agro-pastoralists in the world have interacted with the surrounding environment, and (2) how those peoples have constructed their collective identities. We thus invite distinguished researchers, who are promoting relevant studies to our research questions to give us a talk on their works.
