"The Geophysical Study of Buried Archaeological Remains and Patrimony Preservation in Modern Cities”
"This presentation shows how modern high-resolution geophysical instruments can provide reliable information concerning the archaeological remains buried under the pavement of present cities. This information can be used to locate archaeological remains for future studies, to prevent their damage during urban developments and the city authorities can use it to make projects and plans avoiding areas with high concentration of archaeological remains."
List of Lab Tours Now Available. See the link on the sidebar.
Be the envy of your colleagues. Pre-order your wacky ASAS T-shirts. See the link on the sidebar.
Paper Presenters: Thank you for sending your papers by September 1, 2006 so that discussants had sufficient time to review your work and craft comments. If you have yet to send in your draft, please do so by emailing R. E. Howell (rhowell@email.arizona.edu) or A.J. Vonarx (ajvonarx@email.arizona.edu). To make the conference run smoother, consider emailing your powerpoints by Sept 10, 2006 so that we can preload them onto the conference laptops.
The deadline for proposals (organized sessions and individual poster, paper, and computer simulation stations) has passed. Thank you for your submissions and interest.
ORIGINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
The organizing committee of the Archaeological Sciences of the Americas Symposium is pleased to solicit contributions for 2006. ASAS encourages regular and sustained collaboration between archaeological, conservation, and natural scientists in the Americas. The meeting will be hosted by graduate students in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Program in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Arizona will co-sponsor this event.
The Biennial Symposium will focus on studies, techniques, and approaches that emphasize the analysis and interpretation of prehistoric and historic materials, human cultures and ecology. Researchers at all levels of experience and training are invited to participate. A special invitation is extended to colleagues from Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America. Conceptual and methodological contributions that transcend geographic boundaries of research are also encouraged; applications need not be confined to the Americas. In recognition that archaeological science represents an interdisciplinary effort, six major themes will be represented at the meeting:
1) Geoarchaeology
2) Conservation Studies and Ephemeral Remains
3) Spatial Analysis and Remote Sensing
4) Chronometry
5) Human-Environmental Interaction
6) Material Culture Studies
The target deadline for abstracts of individually-submitted papers, posters, and computer simulations was June 1, 2006 and are limited to 250 words. Proposals of organized sessions (5-6 papers and one discussant) were due May 15, 2006. Given that summer involves field research for many professionals and students, additional submissions were accepted through June 20, 2006. Application fees are $60(US) for students and $90(US) for professionals. Checks are to be made out to the University of Arizona. Please note that none of the application fee is tax deductible.
Monthly updates regarding conference-sponsored award competitions, lectures, workshops, fieldtrips, and social events will be available online as planning proceeds.
For more information, explore the sidebar links or contact one of the organizing committee members directly: R. Emerson Howell (rhowell@email.arizona.edu) or AJ Vonarx (ajvonarx@email.arizona.edu). We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you in Tucson in September 2006!
