Dear colleagues, on the behalf of the IWAA8 organizing committee, I am pleased to invite you to the 8th International Workshop of African Archaeobotany that will be held in Modena (Italy) at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, on 23-26 June 2015. The IWAA8 is dedicated to the memory of Ahmed G.Fahmy. Papers/posters dealing with macroremains, phytoliths, non pollen palynomorphs and pollen, analysed in multidisciplinary archaeo-environmental perspectives, are welcome. Environmental reconstruction, ethnological and linguistic studies will be fruitfully integrated in thematic interdisciplinary sessions. A laboratory session will be also organised, and workshop participants are invited to bring archaeobotanical material for discussion. Microscopes for viewing both macro- and micro- remains will be available. Details on abstract submission, conference fees, venue and meeting timetable are on the conference website: http://www.palinopaleobot.unimore.it/site/home/8th-international-workshop-for-african-archaeobotany-iwaa.html Best regards, Assunta -------- Assunta Florenzano, PhD Laboratorio di Palinologia e Paleobotanica Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita - Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia Viale Caduti in Guerra 127 - 41121 Modena (Italy) www.palinopaleobot.unimore.it
