On Friday 21 and Saturday 22 November 2025, we host the 49th International Mediterranean Survey Workshop (IMSW). These twice-yearly workshops are informal meetings for researchers investigating ancient landscapes in the Mediterranean. The focus is on field walking / artefact surveys, but we also discuss the application of other non-invasive survey techniques and general methodological issues of non-invasive landscape research. The autumn meetings are traditionally used to present results obtained during the summer campaigns.

For the Bamberg meeting, we are very happy to have two keynote presentations on two big survey projects in Italy! On Friday 21 November, Alastair and Carola Small present their surveys on the Apulian-Lucanian border, and on Saturday 22 November, Tom Rasmussen presents the Tuscania survey.

The workshop is open for all interested. More information: wieke.de-neef(at)uni-bamberg.de
