| | Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations: Proceedings |
 | | The Second SIS (Society for Interdisciplinary Studies) Cambridge Conference, entitled "Natural Catastrophes during Bronze Age Civilisations: Archaeological, Geological, Astronomical and Cultural Perspectives", was held at Fitzwilliam College between 11-13 July 1997. |
 | | Hence, when planning the Second Cambridge Conference, it was decided to narrow the title to include only Bronze Age catastrophes and, apart from papers concerned with present-day scientific findings which could throw light on past events, to exclude from the formal programme topics which were not clearly related to the subject of the conference. |
 | | So, a broad view was taken by the organisers of the Second Cambridge Conference as to the period covered by the term Bronze Age and, in consequence, it should be understood that it was concerned with events between about 3500 BC and 500 BC. |
