Rivers and river plains are elements of the landscape where the presence of man throughout history is the most visible. It is, therefore, evident that the plains and deltas of rivers are excellent meeting grounds for a confrontation and for multidisciplinary collaboration between history and ecology. On 22-24 September 2006 an international colloquium was organised in Gent (Belgium), which stimulated looking at landscape evolution from the times of early human involvement in nature to much more recent historical developments. Its aim was also to further strengthen the mutual interests of both Geography and Archaeology. The colloquium attracted the active participation of researchers from some 30 countries, bringing more than 70 presentations and case studies. The geographical variety and methodological diversity of the papers and posters presented in Gent was a guarantee for a broad approach to the evolution of humanized river landscapes and for meaningful multi-disciplinarity and synergy. With the present publication of the proceedings of the Gent meeting the organizers are pleased to be able to contribute to the debate on the role of man in a river plain environment through time, within a wide array of geographic and cultural environments in Europe and beyond.

STAGE Postgraduate Conference 2010
The Postgraduate Classical Association of the Universities of St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh, announces its annual Postgraduate Conference for 2010 to be held on the 13th of February in Edinburgh, and invites the submission of abstracts.
THE STAGE POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH NETWORK is a collaborative research network for Classics departments in St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh fostering closer links between Classics postgraduates at the Scottish universities. There is a STAGE research training day each semester, and an annual postgraduate research colloquium rotating around the different universities.
The purpose of the STAGE conference is to allow postgraduates in Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology in the UK and Europe to interact and exchange ideas, get feedback on their work in a receptive and low-pressure environment, and develop future directions for research. We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers making developed arguments, as well as for posters summarising developing research. It is our hope that postgraduates at all stages of their degrees will attend.
Abstracts for papers should be no longer than 200 words and should outline the paper?s argument. Proposals for posters should be no longer than 100 words and should describe what will be presented. In either case, applicants should also include details of their current degree, including institution, supervisor, and research topic. Papers and posters in any area of Classics, Ancient History or Archaeology are welcome.
The deadline for submissions is the 10th of January 2010. Please submit your abstract for a poster or a paper in the body of an email and send to
