Joy traveled to Antibes to attend the 38th Rencontres Internationales d’Archéologie et d’Histoire d’Antibes where she gave a paper by our group under the title “Constructing the South Arabian Landscape.” The conference focused on the construction of niches from refugia in Arabia; our paper argues that all of the Arabian landscape is a cultural niche and that human interventions in natural systems are evident beyond the classic date palm oases emergent in the third millennium BC. Here is a picture of some of the CEPAM students, staff, and conference attendees. Joy was off with Liliane Meignan, parsing theory in Paleolithic archaeology when this was taken.
