CALL:
Since 2016, ASOR member-organized sessions on Developing Isotopic Investigations in the Near East and Caucasus have been providing a platform where recent biogeochemical investigations in the Near East and Caucasus can be brought to the attention of the broader research community. A key objective of these sessions is to keep up with the pace of methodological advances and to address region-specific challenges by bringing senior and junior researchers together. For 2017, papers on current investigations in the region on a broad range of topics (diet, weaning age, human mobility, land-use, herd management, animal mobility, and climate change) are welcome. We particularly encourage participants to highlight challenges in sampling strategies, interpretative frameworks, and strategies for baseline determination in their contributions for fruitful methodological discussion.
