This is the first
official call for abstracts for the Fourth International Symposium on
Biomolecular Archaeology (ISBA4), which will be held in Copenhagen,
Denmark, between 7-11 September, 2010. The symposium aims to highlight
recent advances in biomolecular archaeology and to provide an
international forum to present and discuss research results. This year's
symposium is being hosted by the Center for GeoGenetics of the
University of Copenhagen and will be held at the Geocenter in central Copenhagen. Judging
by the three previous meetings in Amsterdam, Stockholm, and York, we
anticipate a wide range of interesting podium and poster presentations
on all aspects of research in biomolecular archaeology, including
proteomics, ancient DNA and stable isotope analysis. In addition, we are
pleased to announce several key-note speakers, including Anne Pedersen
from the National Museum of Denmark, Eske Willerslev from the Centre for
GeoGenetics, and T. Douglas Price from the University of Wisconsin,
Madison. To register for the
symposium, please go to our website at www.isba4.net and
follow the links to registration. Once you have registered online you
will receive an email, containing the payment details. The registration
fee is 130 Euros, if you register before 1 June 2010. Thereafter,
the registration fee will increase to 150 Euros. This includes a
symposium pack, lunch, wireless access, and a buffet reception at the Carlsberg Academy on Friday evening (but NOT
accommodation). Registration closes 25 August. To
submit an abstract please use the abstract template provided on our
website and submit it no later than 1 May 2010. We welcome
submissions on all aspects of research on ancient biomolecules,
including recent applications of biomolecular techniques to
archaeological questions, as well as papers dealing with
recent technological advances and the use of newly emerging technologies
in biomolecular archaeology, such as high-throughput sequencing or
laser ablation isotope analysis. A selection of papers will be published
in a special issue of the Journal of Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences. For
more information on the symposium, including an outline program, as
well as other useful information regarding travel to Copenhagen, the
location of the symposium venue, and accommodation options please visit
