Workshop : Avancées dans les techniques de micro-échantillonage sur les restes osseux humains en contexte archéologique

Article publié le 8 février 2016 | Catégorie(s) : Formations

Workshop announcement:

“Advances in micro-sampling techniques of human archaeological skeletal remains”.

Goals: Micro-sampling of human archaeological bones and teeth for geochemical characterization is arguably one of the most exciting and promising developments in the field of bioarchaeology since the introduction of the first geochemical testing on human bone in the 1970s. The goals of the workshop are the following:
1. To exchange experience on the techniques of laboratory processing;
2. To share information on recent work;
3. To assess the potential range of future archaeological applications
