Scientific sessions 1. Paleopedological indicators of early human ecology along the migration routes out of Africa and beyond. 2. Soil mantle under the impact of ancient agriculture: transformation, degradation and resilience. Paleopedological indicators of ancient land use. Man-made soils and soil horizons: artificial terraces, raised fields and plaggen. 3. Features, processes and evolution of urban pedogenesis: settlement soils from the Paleolithic to the Industrial era. Stratigraphy, microstratigraphy and micromorphology of the archaeological soil-sedimentary sequences and living floors that serve as a record/memory/archive of site formation processes and onsite life cycles. 4. Soil as a raw material for ancient technologies (earth-architecture, pottery, etc.): provenance, chaîne opératoire and environmental effects. 5. Soil chronosequences on artificial land surfaces as a tool for evaluating timescales, rates and characteristic times of pedogenetic processes. 6. Soils and pre-Colombian civilizations of America. A virtual Business Meeting of the Paleopedology Commission is planned at the end of the Conference.
