Hello Zooarchers, I would just like to remind you that the deadline for abstract submissions to "Integrating Zooarchaeology and Stable Isotope Analyses", is next Wednesday, 14 March. Please see below for more details and feel free to send on to anyone you think might be interested or get in touch with any questions you might have. Best wishes, Suzanne ************ CALL FOR PAPERS: Integrating Zooarchaeology and Stable Isotope Analyses Thursday, 21 June 2012 McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge As the cost of stable isotope analysis has decreased, there is greater potential for combining this technique with zooarchaeological analysis, but the two are often carried out by separate researchers with different research priorities. The synergy of these two approaches has the potential to lead to meaningful new ways of interrogating archaeological data. This one-day conference aims to bridge this gap and address how stable isotope analysis can be used to answer zooarchaeological questions. Papers will focus on current research projects where these two methodological approaches are being innovatively combined, as well as targeting ways of better integrating existing zooarchaeological and isotope data within projects and improving methodology. Proceedings will be published in an edited volume. Abstract submissions should be sent no later than Wednesday, 14 March 2012 for full consideration.
