The Inter-Congress meeting of the World Archaeology Congress planned in Kingston, Jamaica (20-27 May, 2007) advertised a theme entitled “Archaeology of the Environment and Cultural Landscapes”. I would like to encourage anyone who has means or at least hopes to attend the meeting to contribute to this or any other theme as listed at the conference website (http://www.asjam.com). I am proposing a session entitled “Scales and feathers: an environmental/cultural perspective” in order to demonstrate the many ways faunal assemblages can contribute to archaeology beyond the proverbial “laundry lists” of bone remains. Discussions between archaeologists, historians and archaeozoologists need to be fostered on global fora. Those interested in this topic/session should visit the website of the Archaeological Society of Jamaica referred to above and/or contact me directly. László Bartosiewicz e-mail: [log in to unmask]
