Call for Papers: Archaeological Review from Cambridge, Volume 37.2

*Aesthetics, Sensory Skills, and Archaeology *

The Archaeological Review from Cambridge is pleased to invite submissions for our next issue (37.2), exploring the relationship between aesthetics, sensory skills, and social praxis in past societies.

We understand aesthetics as a concept capturing the socially informed processes of perceiving and evaluating the properties of the physical world, including the natural environment, the human body, and artefacts.

This issue aims to explore potential applications of the concepts of aesthetics and sensory skills in archaeology, focusing on the capacity of the material world to train the senses and shape human perception.

Please see the attached Call for Papers for more details, and don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions or to register interest (aestheticsandarchaeology[at]gmail[dot]com) by 5 November 2021. We welcome contributions from researchers at any stage of their academic career and from all related disciplines. Papers of no more than 4000 words should be submitted by February 28 2022 for publication in November 2022.
