We are organising an online workshop on Tuesday March 10th 2026 on Maximising data from Palaeolithic bone: <\/strong>methods, integration and application<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bone from Palaeolithic excavations is often very fragmented, limiting its interpretive value. However, recent\u00a0methodological advances in archaeological science, proteomics and genetics<\/b>\u00a0can now help maximise the biological, environmental and behavioural data that can be extracted from these non-diagnostic bones and teeth. This\u00a0free workshop<\/b>\u00a0will explore strategies for extracting maximal information from Palaeolithic bone collections. It will include\u00a0short talks and open discussion sessions<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This event is open to all and free to attend. Registration has now closed and registered participants will receive the Teams link the week before the event.<\/p>\n

We have a great line up of speakers, covering a range of topics, including chronology and dating, taphonomy and human behaviour, methodological advances, and subsistence and environment. The full programme can be downloaded here<\/a>. Please note all times are UK times (GMT).<\/p>\n

The abstract booklet<\/a> is now available for download<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
