Welcome to the website for the OIS3 stage conference. Here you will find information explaining the objective of the conference, where and when the event will be held, how to register, conference timetable, directions, accommodation, further information, and contact details."
The European continent constitutes one of the finest « natural laboratories » for exploring long term interactions between human spread and climatic change. Central Europe Paleolithic landscape is very well preserved under the thick ammount of aeolian sediments which were deposited during the glacial period. The environmental and climatic record hidden in those deposits offer us the possibility to study long term human relations with climate. The objective of this conference is to explore hominin relations with the environment in Central Europe during Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 (OIS 3 60–24 kyr). We aim to gain better understanding not just of the climatic conditions during this period, but also of how the environment impacted on hominids understanding of themselves and their everyday activities. Answering these questions for the past enriches our ability to better understand human ecology in relation to climate change in the present, and to better understand our human ecological heritage.
This working conference will be held in Brno, Czech Republic, from March 15th-17th, 2010 and will be organised by the Institute of Geology of Academy of Sciences v.v.i. in Prague together with Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, Moravian Museum in Brno, the Institute of Archaeology of Academy of Sciences, v.v.i. in Brno and by the Quaternary Group of the Czech Geological Society.
