<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Seasons determine the natural rhythm of
life, and whether a human population takes the form of a highly mobile
hunter-gatherer group or a semi-sedentary pastoralist band, the environment
that surrounds them exerts an influence over every aspect of their
lifeways.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>However, human decisions
regarding where to live, how long to stay there, and when to move are rarely
preserved in the prehistoric archaeological record.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">  </span>This session invites papers which take a
fresh perspective on the problem of establishing season of site occupation,
such as the combined use of techniques in zooarchaeology, stable isotope
analysis, geoarchaeology, and other archaeological sciences. </p><p></p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- <br>Suzanne Pilaar Birch</div><div><a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?LOGON=A3%3Dind1008%26L%3DZOOARCH%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D88245%26B%3D--000e0cd2df4c233be9048d8a1e36%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a><br><a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?LOGON=A3%3Dind1008%26L%3DZOOARCH%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D88245%26B%3D--000e0cd2df4c233be9048d8a1e36%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a><br>
