Call for papers
In, Under and Beside the House
Archaeology and Building Archaeology in Dialogue on the shared object „House“
Joint Annual Conference 2026 of the Arbeitskreis Hausforschung (AHF) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Archäologie des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit (DGAMN)
Brandenburg a. d. Havel/hybrid, 1-4 October 2026
Submission Deadline: 30 April 2026
The thematic focus of the conference, as indicated by its title, will be on the house itself, its structural and spatial configurations, its traces in the ground, and its immediate surroundings. Town walls, churches, castles and cemeteries are explicitly excluded from this meeting.
This focused thematic framework is intended to foster fruitful discussions and, ideally, new insights through the joint consideration of identical objects from different perspectives. Contributions that have already been presented within one’s own disciplinary circle are explicitely welcomed for renewed presentation.
Thematic papers should not exceed 20 minutes; short presentations of new research are limited to 15 minutes.
The conference language is German, but papers in English are welcome. As the number of presentations is limited, a selection process may be necessary, conducted by a joint preparatory committee of AHF and DGAMN. The proceedings will be published in a joint volume by the two organising bodies.
Technical facilities for digital image presentations (PowerPoint) will be available. The conference is planned as a hybrid event with online streaming of presentations.
Please submit proposals including the paper title, an abstract of no more than 10 lines, and a short CV with full postal address by 30 April 2026 to:
