Increased urban growth and depletion of rural areas, especially
outlying or so called marginal areas, are major processes in European
societies today. These processes have shaped our conception of outlying
areas in the past. Outlying areas have therefore been of marginal
importance in the archaeology of the past. But, when investigated,
outlying areas have often turned out to be arenas for a variety of human
strategies, and of great importance as harbors of resources and
ecosystem services. Outlands were vital both for the subsistence of
local communities and for mercantile networks on different levels in
Europe as commodity producers. Today, people in outlying areas are
fighting for a sustainable future, using the past as a major resource.
In this session we focus on the dynamics of past outland use, the
problems of today and the possibilities of the future. We would like to
combine strategic papers dealing with applied archaeology as well as
comparative case studies characterizing past outland ecosystems. Useful
inspiration for papers in this session can be found in some of the
challenges emphasized in the coming Horizon 2020 call; health and
well-being, food-security, environment and resource efficiency and
Europe in a changing world.
