SUMMARY:Talks of the Past (ToP) Open Seminar\, 2nd Apr 2025: Uralic spread\, Seima-Turbino and flower pots\, speaker Outi Vesakoski
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe seminal paper by Grünthal et al. (2022) advances a new scenario of Proto-Uralic disintegration and spread. They suggest a rapid spread of Uralic languages through Common Uralic\, a dialect continuum whose breakup formed the Finno-Ugric language families. They suggest that the vector for Uralic spread was the Seima-Turbino trading network (ST)\, within which the Uralic languages ​​were used as lingua franca. The key hypothesis in the Sejma-Turbino scenario is that the trade network would have consisted of representatives of different Eurasian cultural groups for whom a common language would have been necessary. Timing of Proto-Uralic disintegration would have occurred during the ST\, which was an intensive but short-lasting period about 4200-3800 years ago. \nIn her presentation\, Outi Vesakoski will summarize the assumptions this hypothesis poses and discuss them in light of new genetic and psycholinguistic studies. The talk is based on a forthcoming paper on Uralic archaeolinguistics (Vesakoski\, Elina Salmela & Henny Piezonka) in the Oxford Handbook of Archaeology and Language\, edited by Martine Robbeets and Mark Hudson. \n\nMap of Uralic language speaker areas at beginning of 20th century (drawn by BEDLAN member Timo Rantanen). \nRelated reading:\nGrünthal\, R.\, Heyd\, V.\, Holopainen\, S. et al.

SUMMARY:Biomolecular Humanities Practical Workshop & JC Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The workshop\, led by Jerome de Groot\, Ester Oras\, Jess Thompson\, Christopher Vardy\, and Matthew Williams\, follows up on the discussions from last year. \nThis interactive workshop will begin to explore collaboration and possible Biomolecular Humanities approaches. Through a consideration of approach and disciplinary practice\, we will begin to establish ways that we might work towards answering some of the pressing questions arising from developing biomolecular approaches within the humanities. Everyone is welcome to contribute and participate in what will be a generative and productive meeting! Building on the work that we began together at our initial meeting last year the workshop looks to develop ways of rethinking and reworking our approaches to new data and techniques. Our leading contributors are drawn from Archaeology\, Biology\, English Literature\, Archaeochemistry\, and Cultural Genomics\, and together we will outline some of the new thinking in our fields and the challenges (and rewards) of working in multidisciplinary ways. \nSome initial thoughts on Biomolecular Humanities are outlined in the following paper: Oras\, E.\, de Groot\, J.\, & Björkstén\, U. (2025). The ‘Biomolecular Humanities’? New challenges and perspectives. iScience. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004224029067 \nThe workshop will be followed by a discussion.
