We are happy to announce the 5th workshop “Young Researchers in Archaeometry” that will be held at the online on 5-6 September 2022. Following our tradition, the meeting welcomes early career researchers (master, PhD, post-doc) with a focus on topics intersecting natural science, cultural heritage studies and archaeology.

As promoted in the previous editions, the aim of the workshop is to offer ECRs an interdisciplinary platform for mutual exchange and networking. We want to provide a relaxed atmosphere to promote the development and use of scientific techniques through presentations and discussions. The online format opens the workshop series for people from all over the world and with limited travel funds.
We welcome contributions involving natural sciences related to archaeometry including all types of objects and materials related with human activities with a specific emphasis on archaeological or anthropological topics. Researchers in the field of archaeology, art history, anthropology, biology, chemistry, conservation, cultural heritage, earth science, material science, medicine, physics are encouraged to propose an oral.

Because the interest in online tutorials last year was huge, we are happy to announce that we can provide pre-recorded tutorials this year! Provided by renowned experts, they tackle different topics and methods in the field.

250 word abstracts (in English) for presentations (15 min + 5 min discussion) can be submitted until July 3rd.

Registration without talk or presentation is open from mid of July until the workshop. Submission of an abstract will automatically register the presenting author.

The online participation for the workshop is FREE.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all at the YRA2022!

Abstract:
“Costumes of wordly and religious leaders have multiple layers of meaning. Firstly, there is the aspect of ‘dress to impress’, often by making the person look larger than others. Secondly, there are ways of ‘reading’ the costume and its details. For the outsider it will be clear that he/she is dealing with a king, queen or bishop, but the insiders will be able to distinguish more details, hidden in attributes and decorations. How far are we, as researchers, able to go into this non-verbal language of costumes of authority? A case study from Nubia as a foretaste of a new research project.”
