The in-person Annual Meeting of the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR) was held in Chicago on November 17-20, 2021. The CRANE project’s scholars participated in several sessions/workshops.
Timothy P. Harrison and Miller C. Prosser served as chairs for the workshop entitled Grand Challenges for Digital Research in Archaeology and Philology. While last year this workshop focused on the challenge of data digitization, this year it looked at the challenge of integrating data sets. Within this workshop Stephen Batiuk, Sandra Schloen, and Stanley Klassen gave a presentation entitled “There and Back Again: Tayinat’s Tale”.
The CRANE project was also well represented in the workshop on Environmental Archaeology of the Ancient Near East. Within this workshop Lynn Welton, Simone Riehl, Dan Lawrence, and Hervé Reculeau presented a paper entitled “Fertile Ground: Methods for Estimating Ancient Agricultural Productivity”.
