> Hi all, I'm getting some international interest in our Animals!
> conference, so I thought I'd give you all some more information
> about travel and accommodation. If you would like to attend, it
> is best to fly to Gatwick Airport and catch the train from the
> airport to Chichester - it is a direct train and takes less than an
> hour. If you want to do that, you can send me your flight details
> and I'll forward the relevant train timetables. In terms of
> accommodation, our team is staying at Chichester University, where
> the event is being held. Rooms cost £48 per night for a single
> ensuite room with breakfast. If you would like to stay here too,
> let me know and I will reserve a room for you - you would need to
> pay the bill on arrival. Most of the speakers will be in
> Chichester on the night of Friday 5th and Saturday 6th - so lots of
> opportunities for networking and catching up. See you there!
> Animals! Understanding human culture through the ubiquitous others
> Saturday 6th September, Chichester University
> In archaeology the study of animals is widely considered to provide little
> information beyond ?what people ate?. This situation is bizarre given that
> the archaeological record is composed largely of debris from human-animal
> relationships: be it in the form of animal bones, individual artefacts
> (e.g. cooking pots, husbandry equipment, figurines, vellum manuscripts) or
> entire landscapes.
>
> With recent advances in archaeological approaches and science (e.g. DNA,
> stable isotopes and lipid analysis) studies of animal-related evidence are
> providing exciting information about issue of human migration, trade,
> behaviour and cultural ideology. This conference, generously supported by
> the Arts and Humanities Research Council, celebrates these new findings
> and will provide novel insights into some of the highest profile issues in
> mainstream archaeology.
>
> The Conference will be introduced by Prof Terry O?Connor, incoming
> President of the International Council of Archaeozoology, and our speakers
