[XXIIIe congress of GMPCA] Archéométrie 2022

Every two years since 1977, the GMPCA has organised the Archaeometry Congress, whose scientific objective is to take stock of the progress of techniques applied in the field of heritage, to enable young researchers to present their work and to compare research practices in heritage science in Europe and beyond. The next Archaeometry symposium will be co-organized in Chambéry from 2 to 6 May 2022 by the EDYTEM laboratory and the Patrimalp consortium.

This year to illustrate the contributions of integrative approaches in the study of archaeological sites and in the formalization of new concepts several sessions divided in several entries are organised. These entries cover a wide range of research themes:

(i) Society-environment interaction: resources and supply; lake sediment recording; restoring the life of the object: practices, techniques and uses; alteration/weathering, degradation, restoration-conservation...

(ii) Methodological diversities: non-invasive/non-destructive analyses; portable instrumentation; 3D as a tool for scientific investigation; the challenge of organic matter; absolute dating...

(iii) Common issues: imaging environments; management of collections; data management; creation and maintenance of databases; shared vocabulary and ontology ...
