Dear Colleague

I am organizing a session for the next ICAZ Meeting (México 2006). The Title is "Bone raw material exploitation in South America".

The session is aimed to present a wide range of presentations about how bone raw material were exploited to produce bone tools or artifacts in different parts of South America, what were the environmental and cultural contexts and how this exploitation has changed spatially and temporally. Although bone technology was widely developed in Old World archaeology, for many reasons in South America it did not has received the attention that deserve. But lately there is a growing interest on this topic which I expect could be reflected on the session.

If you are interested in this session, please contact me. The presentation could be presented in the language you prefer. If you have any doubts or questions please do not hesitate in contact me. If you know another colleague that could be interested on this session I will appreciate you forward him/her this mail. I look forward for your participation on the session Best wishes
