From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic: themes in European Zooarchaeology -01-02-03/06/2017, Lisboa
In 2017, Simon’s book, "The Archaeology of Animals", will be 30 years old. To celebrate this anniversary and Simon’s significant contribution to archaeology we have decided to organize a conference to be held 1st-3rd June at the Museum of Natural History and Science, Lisbon, Portugal.
In this meeting we will want to cover any of the scientific themes that have been dear to Simon in his research career, from domestication to the evolution of animal husbandry, the archaeology of islands, the use of animals in rituals and many others.
The idea is to gather several of Simon's friends and colleagues for a bit of a celebration and scientific discussion.
