ICAEM 2025, Mobility in the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean: Movements of People, Objects and Ideas- Call for papers
13-14 June 2025, University of Tartu, Esthonia
Deadline: 1 March 2025
The Ancient Near East and Mediterranean was a vast area of constant movement and communication between different groups of people, both those close to each other geographically, ethnically, linguistically and those separated by greater distances. The crossing of such distances might have meant either sea voyages, navigating or crossing rivers or travelling on difficult mountain or desert routes and sometimes all of them. The travels might have served different purposes: commerce, piracy, adventure, diplomacy, military campaigns, maintaining aristocratic connections, creating colonies, visiting religious sites, competitions and festivals, escaping situations of crises etc. Moving around in the ancient world could be undertaken by large groups, by individuals and it could be either voluntary or involuntary, refugees, forcibly deported populations and slaves belonging to the latter category of travellers.
The workshop is planned as an onsite event in Tartu, Estonia, but sessions will also be streamed via Zoom, to give access to a wider audience.
