Dear colleagues: Now that we are closer to the summer, I'm reminding you that the Center for the Analysis of Archaeological Materials will be offering an intensive summer course in zooarchaeology June 3-7, 2019. This course is designed for archaeologists either planning a field program or approaching an existing zooarchaeology collection. The basic research questions in zooarchaeology will be related to field practices for sampling, recovery, and conservation. Participants will practice the major tasks of sorting, identification, and data recording using hands-on material and CAAM comparative collections. Surface modification and histology will be used to reconstruct taphonomic pathways and life history variables. Sampling and interpretation of molecular zooarchaeology data (aDNA and isotopes) will be discussed and sampling protocols demonstrated.
The deadline for applications is the end of March (March 31). Please see the full details at https://www.penn.museum/teachers-and-students/for-penn-students/caam/caam-intensive-courses
If you have questions, please feel free to write me directly ([log in to unmask]).
