8th Bone Diagenesis Meeting
Veranstaltungsort
Every four years or so the Bone Diagenesis workshops bring together researchers to discuss issues related to diagenesis in calcified tissues. The first workshop, the brainchild of Robert Hedges, was held in Oxford in 1988 and since then they have been held elsewhere in Europe and Africa. We are delighted to welcome you back to Oxford again for the 8th meeting.
It will undoubtedly give us the chance to assess progress over the intervening years. Diagenesis cuts across all disciplines that study the past. As in previous workshops, our aims are to consider how better understanding of the pathways of post-mortem alteration in calcified tissues can tell us more about the processes of fossilisation and help overcome the challenges it poses.
This year, the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art of the University of Oxford and the Research Unit: Analytical, Environmental and Geochemistry of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, are jointly organizing the Bone Diagenesis Meeting.
We look forward to seeing you in Oxford!
