New ICAZ Working Group on Neotropical Zooarchaeology (NZWG)
Published Friday 16 July 2010, by Mariana Mondini
The first meeting of the Working Group will be held at the next ICAZ Conference in Paris, on Friday, 27 August, 17:30 – 18:30 hs, in Jussieu, amphi 45B.

A number of particularities that characterize the Neotropics -the biogeographic region ranging from central and southern Mexico to southern South America and adjacent islands- are relevant to understanding the diversity and evolution of human-animal interactions through time, as well as the properties of the resulting archaeofaunal record.

The mission of the newly formed Neotropical Zooarchaeology Working Group (NZWG) is to offer a forum where people can meet from any country interested in these research problems.

All interested researchers are invited to participate and/or to join the NZWG!

Please contact any of the NZWG coordinators for more information:

- Pablo M. Fernández : pfernand@retina.ar
- Mariana Mondini : mmondini@filo.uba.ar

The Laboratory of Zooarqueología y Tafonomía de Zonas Áridas (LaZTA) in Argentina is developing a blog (under construction), where news and publications can be consulted: http://blogs.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/zooarq...
