Call for Papers [NOW CLOSED]

Gardens: History, Reception, and Scientific Analyses

23-24 February 2019, Nagoya University, Japan.

The heat wave in Summer 2018 has revealed designs of historic gardens in the UK that have been lost and only known to us through prints and publications. Unlike these discoveries, finding historic gardens usually involves time, patience, as well as archaeological practice.

It is often difficult for modern visitors to visualize and understand historic gardens that have not survived. But researchers employ various approaches, techniques, and resources to understand gardens of the past. For example, Wilhelmina F. Jashemski commenced the excavation of Pompeian gardens in the 1960s and showed how people planted trees and embellished the garden area. She collaborated with natural scientists in order to determine what types of plants had been planted in Pompeian gardens. Around the same time in Japan, the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties excavated an ancient palatial block in Nara and discovered a garden which was later reconstructed based on finds such as branches, leaves, seeds, and pollen.

The study of historic gardens requires an interdisciplinary approach: historians studying gardens via texts and inscriptions, archaeologists analysing gardens by excavation, archaeobotanists examining finds, and natural scientists scrutinizing samples provided by archaeologists. In addition, we should not disregard the influences and legacy of historic gardens. Without the collaboration of all these disciplines, our perceptions of such gardens will remain incomplete.

This conference aims to deepen our understanding of garden history by bringing together specialists working in various fields. Confirmed papers will cover areas including: gardens in Classical Antiquity (Y. Kawamoto, Marzano, Purcell, and Suto) and in the Renaissance (Higaya, Kuwakino), garden excavation in Pompeii and the Villa Arianna (Gleason), excavated (and reconstructed) gardens in Nara and Kyoto (Ono and S. Kawamoto), radiocarbon dating analysis of archaeological finds (Oda), and the latest survey of a garden in the villa in Somma Vesuviana (Italy) employing cosmic-ray Muons (Morishima).

Nicholas Purcell (Roman History; Oxford)

「西洋の庭園空間:起源・継承・復元」第一回研究会

日時:9月26日(水)17:00-18:30

場所:名古屋大学文学棟130講義室

17:15-17:45 ポンペイの庭園における植物跡とその分析

(名古屋大学高等研究院・川本悠紀子)

17:45-18:30 木質遺物の樹種を調べる

(北海道大学大学院農学研究院・佐野雄三)


【概要】

科学技術人材育成のコンソーシアムの構築事業(北海道大学・東北大学・名古屋大学) で採択された研究課題「西洋の庭園空間:起源・継承・復元」の第一回研究会を開催いたします。はじめに、後79年のウェスウィウス山の噴火によって埋没したポンペイをはじめとする遺跡における植物跡の分析に関する考古学者の取り組み・近年の研究動向について簡単にお話します。その後、北海道大学大学院農学研究院の佐野雄三先生が「木質遺物の樹種を調べる」をテーマとしたご講演をされます。具体的には、東京大学が発掘しているソンマ・ヴェスヴィアーナのローマ時代の別荘(後472年のウェスウィウス山の噴火によって埋没)から出土した木片サンプルを用いながら、自然科学を用いた出土遺物の分析がどのように行われるのかをお話いただく予定です。

参加登録・参加費は必要ありませんので、奮ってご参加ください。
