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:
