Scientific objectives
The IEHCA/François-Rabelais Summer School is developing in European, and even worldwide, importance in terms of the presentation of scientific and academic research. In particular, it enables students to equip themselves with the necessary scientific tools for research work, giving them the opportunity to participate in the exchange of information, both between themselves and with the teachers/lecturers. The information thus exchanged may principally be theoretical (...)

The transmission and impact of animal disease is a critically important issue in contemporary society. Amongst domestic livestock, disease and poor animal health can profoundly affect local, regional and global economies. In wild animals, disease can not only significantly affect population numbers, but can alter ecosystems and threaten biodiversity. Transmissible animal diseases (zoonoses) account for high levels of sickness and mortality rates in both human and animal populations in many (...)

Oral and poster presentations dealing with all aspects of palaeontology, archaeozoology, taxonomy, biogeography and phylogeography of Mediterranean chelonians are welcomed. We strongly encourage presentations concerning remains coming from archaeological sites.
Presentation
The current distribution of the Mediterranean chelonians is the result of a long and complex evolutionary history. The circum-Mediterranean region comprises three continents and is characterized by a complex (...)

The transhumance as movement of animals (above all sheep/goats) on short and long distance represented an important phenomenon and an economic and cultural model of Middle Age Europe (6th- 15th A.D.). Besides the historical approach meanly based on the analysis of written documents, we think that zooarchaeology can be a source of knowledge for an activity, like transhumance, that requires a close relationship between man and animal.
The Middle Age knew also other movements of animals that (...)

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 (...)

Abstract
Environmental evidence is now widely used by archaeologists to investigate and gain better understanding of the economic and subsistence strategies used by past societies. With the rise of post-processual theory and advances in methodologies, environmental data is now adding to the understanding of past societies’ socio-economic and ultural attributes.
One aspect aiding this is the analysis of data from ritual deposits. To investigate such board concepts multiple lines of (...)

Abstract
Archaeozoology includes most of the methods that archaeologists have at their disposal for determining the economic relationship between people and their environment. Increasingly, the analyses conducted by archaeozoologists are both broader in scope and finer in detail than simply sorting and identifying faunal assemblages and selecting a most plausible explanation from the resulting quantified ‘grocery list’.
The aim of the session is to provide those working in the (...)

Overview
Zooarchaeology, as a sub-discipline, has advanced a great deal in recent years by incorporating a multidisciplinary approach to the development of both its methodological and theoretical perspectives. This has significantly altered our understanding and interpretation of some of the most pertinent questions within Archaeology. Archaeogenetics, and its application to the study of faunal remains, has perhaps benefited most; recent research has had an incredible impact on our (...)
