[Bonetools] ICAZ Raw Materials session

[Alice Choyke]

Dear bone tool people,
     Sonia, Carole and I are going organize an all day session at the Paris
ICAZ (see message below). We have room for around 10-12 papers but we  would
also like to encourage posters about use of bone, antler and tooth  (ivory)
as  raw materials. The points of view may range from tricky  identification
and distinguishing between raw material classes, conservation  and
socio-cultural aspects of raw material choice. We would like to  encourage
posters as well and aim to also have an organized poster  session at the
meetings connected directly to the session. The hope at the  end is to have
enough good papers for a nice ICAZ/WBRG volume on the  subject. We intend to
peer review the papers so be prepared that your paper  may ultimately not be
published or require re-writing. However, the aim is to  produce a good
volume that shows archaeologists and archaeozoologists In  general the kind
of useful information available from worked bone studies.
      If you are interested and plan to participate whether by poster or
paper  please bring the finished text for the volume with you to Paris,
preferably  on CD or send it to me (Alice) beforehand. Once we know who
plans to  participate we will send around format guidelines, probably
similar to what  Oxbow books (who has publshed similar volumes from other
ICAZ  conferencs) requires.

Best,
Alice, Sonia and Carol
