We are happy to announce that the 7th Workshop Young Researchers in Archaeometry will be held at The Cyprus Institute, in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference will be held in person from October 15th to 18th, 2024 and will welcome early career researchers (masters, PhD, post-docs up to six years after their PhD) in archaeological sciences and cultural heritage studies.

With this workshop, we aim to offer a relaxed atmosphere to encourage interdisciplinary exchange between early career researchers. We are pleased to invite you for oral and poster contributions in all fields of natural sciences about archaeological and anthropological topics. In particular, early career researchers in archaeology, art history, anthropology, biological anthropology, environmental archaeology, chemistry, conservation, cultural heritage, earth science, and material science are welcome to submit an abstract for an oral presentation or poster.

Send us your abstract (max. 250 words) until May 31st, 2024 via the submission form.

More information and a first programme with information about the social events will follow soon.
