The aim of the Symposium is to promote the development and use of scientific techniques, for the extraction of archaeological and historical information from the cultural heritage and the paleoenvironment. It involves all Natural Sciences and all types of objects and materials related with human activity. Emphasis will be given to integrated and multi-disciplinary studies involving archaeological or anthropological research.
The 43rd International Symposium on Archaeometry (ISA 2020), initially planned 18-22 May 2020, will be held on 16-20 May 2022, in Lisbon, Portugal, organized by Instituto Superior Técnico.
The subjects covered by the Symposium are grouped into sessions:
Session 1 : Remote Sensing, Geophysical Prospection and Field archaeology
Session 2 : Archaeochronometry (organic and inorganic materials)
Session 3 : Biological Materials and Bioarchaeology
Session 4 : Technology/provenance - stone/pigments/plaster
Session 5 : Technology/provenance - ceramics/vitreous/glass
Session 6 : Technology/provenance – metals
Session 7 : Human-Environment Interactions
