ARCHAEOZOOLOGY OF SOUTHWESTERN ASIA and Adjacent
Areas
You are kindly invited to the coming ASWA meeting that will be
held at the University of Haifa Mount Carmel Campus, from June 23rd to June
28th 2013. The campus is situated on the outskirts of the city of Haifa and
the Carmel National Park and enjoys a magnificent view that combines sea,
mountain and forest. The city of Haifa is connected with highways and a
railway to the Ben Gurion International airport located about 100 km away.
Haifa is unique in its diversity of faiths and cultures and is one of the
few places where Christians, Moslems, Druze, Bahais and Jews cohabit
peacefully as neighbours, giving a special atmosphere to the city. The city
offers hotels of various classes with good transportation to the university
campus.
The meeting will include a special symposium (Animal Bones
and Cultural Diversity) and general presentations that will be organized
according to preselected topics (oral and poster presentations), as will be
detailed in the second announcement. Ideas for special sessions are welcome.
In addition we are planning social events and two days of tours to nearby
world heritage sites and visits to protected wildlife reserves.
