Dear Zooarchers:
Kelila Jaffe and I are organizing a round table discussion for the 2018
ICAZ meetings in Ankara. Here is the theme of the roundtable:
Questions, Conundrums, and Wonky
Data: Confounding Factors in Zooarchaeology:
This round table is designed
to share research challenges and the ways in which these issues have been, or
haven't been, addressed. Here are some of possible examples: How do we address
mismatches between data and theory? What happens when our experiments fail to
replicate our archaeological evidence? How do we deal with equifinality? What
are the limits of ethnographic and historic analogies? While some problems are
wholly unique; many are, undoubtedly, common across our field. This discussion
seeks to encourage dialog and community.
If you have wonky or confounding data that
you would like to discuss in the friendly and supportive atmosphere, please
email me at [log in to unmask].
Many thanks,
Pam
