Humboldt conference in Budapest
The Hungarian Humboldt Society, with the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, organized a conference entitled Natur, Mensch, Technologie ̶ Nature, Humans, Technology in September 15-17, 2022, in Budapest. The central theme of the meeting was the multidisciplinary cooperation focusing on relationship between man and nature, due to the approaches of the philosophical, historical, social and natural sciences.
Within this main topic, an archeology session was organized by Klára P. Fischl entitled Krisen, Innovationen, Antworten, which attempt to interpret the impacts of man and environment during the archaeological periods through changes in material culture. Lectures were presented studies that raise archeological-historical questions from the perspective of crises, innovations and response options by examining them with modern, complex methodology.
The scholars of the Institute of Archaeology, Research Centre for the Humanities participated in the conference program with nine presentations, while the Archaeogenomics Institute contributed with one. Head of our research group, Viktória Kiss presented the results of the bioarchaeological analysis of the Early Bronze Age burials excavated at Balatonkeresztúr and the process of creating the first female facial reconstruction from the period of the Bronze Age in Hungary.
