The 9th meeting of the ICAZ Archaeozoology, Genetics, Proteomics and Morphometrics (AGPM) Working Group

The AGPM Working Group aims to promote collaboration between archaeology, archaeozoology, genetics, proteomics and morphometrics. The topics covered in the conference include methodological developments in the respective fields and their applications to archaeological material, colonization, animal mobility, animal domestication, animal health and disease, animal adaptation to the human niche and other ways these methods can be used to understand past human-animal relationships.
