Description of Conference: Archaeological research has incorporated high precision radiocarbon dating for the analysis of archaeological environments and has improved sampling strategies; in this way, it has contributed significantly towards establishing extended archaeological chronologies. Radiocarbon research in turn has been challenged to improve precision and accuracy not only in the measurements but also in the sample preparation in relation with various contexts and samples.
As agreed in the previous "Radiocarbon and Archaeology Symposium " in Zürich in 2008, we are pleased to announce an open call for papers for the 6th International Symposium on "Radiocarbon and Archaeology” to be held on April 10-15th, 2011 in Pafos, Cyprus. The aim is to provide a forum to promote the exchange of new ideas and challenges on the merging research fields of Radiocarbon and Archaeology. The conference is addressed to the international scientific community of Radiocarbon, Archaeology, Archaeological Sciences and related fields.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cyprus in April 2011 and to a rewarding symposium.
Papers (oral or poster presentations) on all aspects of research and applications of Radiocarbon, Archaeology and Archaeological Science are welcome. Problem oriented, comparative studies, as well as papers addressing advances, problems and new challenges for this technique are also called for. The geographical and chronological scope of the conference is open to local and global studies. Tackled topics are Radiocarbon methods, calibration tools, absolute and relative chronologies. Field-related aspects related to radiocarbon dating like the application of micromorphology to resolve disturbances in the deposition of the 14C sample, as well as non-conventional sample materials for radiocarbon dating, special conditions for their collection, characterization and preparation are also called for.
These topics are not exclusive and all related studies are welcome.
