ICAZ 2006 - MEXICO CITY
ARCHAEOMALACOLOGY SESSION
ABSTRACTS FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS NOW ON-LINE SHELLS OF MOLLUSCA: ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTATIONS, IDEOLOGICAL EXPRESSIONS ORGANISERS: CANAN CAKIRLAR AND VICTORIA
STOSEL Since the earliest appearance of archaeomalacological papers in the late 1970s, the importance of and interest in archaeomalacology as a subdiscipline has increased significantly. The objective of the proposed session at the ICAZ conference in Mexico City is to bring together the various archaeomalacological researchers to discuss their current research. The ICAZ conference facilitates the sharing of diverse scientific approaches and new methodologies within the field, fostering a better understanding regarding human interaction with maritime environments. Papers for this session ideally will focus on a broad range of topics: comparing and discussing molluscan evidence in terms of global ecological trends; aquatic adaptations; human impact on environment; continuity and discontinuity in cultural traditions; trade relationships; gender and social identity. Papers dealing with regional, inter-regional, methodological, environmental, and anthropological problems, bringing in multiple proxy-data together are encouraged rather than restrictively site-specific discussions or merely descriptive presentations. Any queries can be addressed to the session organizers.
