Day 3 began with three talks on material networks with talks which applied network analysis to datasets of materials recovered in the archaeological record from Bronze Age China, Iron Age Italy, and the Roman world by Yating Liao, Adrian Proestos, and Bogdan Lăpușan. #connectedpast #archaeology

Our final session of Day 2 featured two insightful presentations on religious networks from Late Antiquity in the Near East and the early Middle Ages of Spain by Jamie Wood and Irina Barash. Thank you for such intriguing papers! #connectedpast #archaeology #history
