<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt">Artifacts made out of materials of
faunal origin (bone, ivory, horn, antler, mollusc shell, etc.) are commonly
encountered in excavations in the Ancient Near East. While some groups of
artifacts, such as ivory carvings or engraved Tridacna shells have received
considerable attention, mainly because of their artistic significance, more
mundane, yet more abundant objects such as tools and simple jewelry have often
been neglected.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt">To address this imbalanced situation, we
would like to organize a workshop focusing on artifacts made of bone and
related materials from the Ancient Near East from the Neolithic to the end of
the Iron Age.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
