Abstract: The international conference Ethnoarchaeology of Livelihood Practices: Exploring the Nexus of Food Production, Resource Management and Sustainability was hosted at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, from October 16th to 18th, 2024. This event was co-organized by Spanish and Italian institutions and funded by the project CAMP – (Re)Constructing the Archaeology of Mobile Pastoralism and the Department of Humanities of Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The conference gathered a diverse group of participants, including esteemed experts in ethnoarchaeology and enthusiastic early-career researchers, who attended both in-person and online. The case studies and more general discussion papers covered four main topics: (1) reflections on the discipline, (2) Traditional Ecological Knowledge, (3) pastoralism and (4) social aspects of food and resources. A key point emphasized in several presentations was the importance of including and involving local communities, which was encouraged as a vital component for future collaborations.
