Advancing archaeology with multi-disciplinary analysis
November 7, 2024 @ 09:00 – 16:50 CET
Archaeology thrives on its intrinsic interdisciplinary nature, drawing from a diverse range of scientific disciplines. SciLifeLab, together with ArchLab, Sweden’s newly initiated national research infrastructure for archaeological laboratories, plays a key role in advancing these investigations by providing access to a wide array of analytical tools and methodologies.
The aim of this symposium is to demonstrate and discuss the powerful combination of techniques such as DNA analysis, isotope analysis, dating methodologies, palaeobotany, osteological analysis, spatial analysis, and environmental archaeology, to address key research questions concerning the past.
Attendance is free of charge and on-site participation includes lunch and coffee but registration is required.
Program
Detailed program is in preparation. The event will take place at the Humanities Theater, Uppsala, and online attendance will be available.
The symposium will include keynote presentations, research presentations and a panel discussion on the benefits, challenges and potential of multidisciplinary analysis. Support provided by SciLifeLab and ArchLab will be presented, and consultation with their representatives will be available.
