Dear colleagues,
We are glad to announce that the session "
We hope the session will stimulate dialogue and
interaction from various disciplines related to the application of methods that provide high-resolution data about
the life history of both human and animal populations. These
include a better understanding of individual demographic parameters
(ages, sex), individual dietary patterns, territorial mobility, animal
husbandry techniques or hunting strategies. The objective of this
session is to bring together presentations and discussions on the last
advances on the analyzing dental evidences in the archaeological record.
Themes are related to palaeoecology and zooarchaeology. Possible topics
include but are not limited to stable isotopes, trace-element analysis,
cementum analysis, tooth wear or enamel and dentin microstructure. In
this session preference will be given to those presentations combining
different methodologies and with clear archaeological implications.
Participation in the session includes oral presentations and posters. In both cases, an abstract of the proposal must be submitted online by March 30th directly on the conference web page. The proposal must specify that it is aimed at session "High-resolution analyses of dental remains: broadening horizons". On the conference web page you will find the guidelines for abstract presentation and for posters, as well as information about registration.
We are planning to get all contributions (oral presentations and posters) published in a special issue of a peer-reviewed international journal. We will provide more information about the publication schedule during the ICAZ conference.
You are all welcome to participate in the session. Feel free to make circulate this call for papers to other colleagues who you think might be interested. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Florent
