The Connected Past Conference will take place in Coimbra, Portugal from 16-19 September 2025.
The Connected Past is an interdisciplinary platform, welcoming contributions from scholars investigating the role and dynamics of networks in historical and archaeological contexts. The 2025 conference will not adhere to a specific theme, encouraging a broad and inclusive discussion of innovative methods, theories, and case studies. We are especially interested in research showcasing the potential of computational network methods. These methods enable formal representation and analysis of network data and helptest relational theories, offering critical insights into phenomena for which both materialities and network analysis are essential. This conference also provides an inclusive venue for contributions addressing any historical or archaeological network studies, regardless of material, period, method, or theory.
