Archaeological science forms the core of any research into ancient societies. This colloquium commemorates the institution of the CAAM curriculum and research facilities—focusing on ceramic analysis, archaeobotany, archaeometallurgy, zooarchaeology, and digital archaeology—and its achievements over the last ten years. Looking both within and outside the Museum, we’ll examine how laboratory-based analysis opens exciting new vistas onto the everyday lives of people in the past.

Dr. Tom Tartaron, Kolb Senior Fellow and Executive Director of the Center for the Analysis of Archaeological Materials, will introduce the colloquium. This year’s keynote lecturer is Dr. Alicia Ventresca-Miller, Director of the Ancient Protein and Isotope Laboratory and Curator of Archaeological Sciences at the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology at the University of Michigan. The program features talks by Kolb Fellows specializing in the fields associated with CAAM and in some cases trained by CAAM as well: Dr. Reed Goodman, Dr. Christopher P. Thornton, Dr. Mark Van Horn, and current Anthropology graduate student Chelsea M. Cohen.
