About

In March 2018 the Department of Archaeology at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (MPI-GEA) (formerly Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History) hosted its first intensive one-week workshop on the International Application of Archaeological Science (IAAS). The workshop was specifically designed for students and other early career researchers from around the world.

The workshop provides training and tutorials in a series of archaeological science approaches that have international applicability. The workshop covers a variety of methods, including quantitative lithics analyses, Geographical Information Systems approaches, ancient proteomics, ZooMS, stable isotope analysis, both micro and macroscopic methods in archaeobotany, morphological identifications in archaeozoology, human osteology, chronological methods and models, and statistical analysis.

Organized trips and tours of local prehistory museums and archaeological sites are also integrated into the program in 2024.
