The Connected Past: Religious Networks in Antiquity

Network approaches are used by archaeologists and historians as tools to model
relational ties between individuals and groups in the past. The growing uptake
of these approaches comes in an era recently dubbed the “Third Science
Revolution” (Kristiansen 2014). Indeed, the advancement of Big Data and
computational techniques have revolutionized the types and amounts of
information at our fingertips and our means of analyzing and visualizing its
patterns. This workshop and conference aim to build bridges between divergent
disciplinary skillsets: the quantitative and computational side of network
analysis and the qualitative questions and explanations that undergird
historical and archaeological work.

A special area of focus for the conference will be the application of network
perspectives to the emergence and spread of religious beliefs and practices,
positioning these phenomena as deeply intertwined with the human and material
connections that comprised the ancient world. Religion has often been regarded
as both an intensely local and intensely transcultural force for ancient
communities. Now, at the digital frontiers of the twenty-first century, the
resurgent interests in large-scale questions on human development have opened up
new opportunities to study religion from relational and quantitative
perspectives combined with deep qualitative and historical approaches developed
in the humanities.

This conference is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory
of the Musqueam people. The land it is situated on what has always been a place
of learning for the Musqueam, who for millennia have passed on their culture,
history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site.
