DAACS Conversations
Join DAACS staff and DAACS collaborating scholars for a diverse range of conversations on ground-breaking new research linked to DAACS. This Fall, DAACS Conversations focus on recent and ongoing projects that apply archaeological science in Historical Archaeology. Curious to know what we can learn about the past with lasers, DNA, X-rays, and image manipulation? This fall, we showcase how new applications of technology are answering longstanding questions.
Join the conversation to learn about these exciting projects, and their impact on the field. Conversations start with a short talk followed by questions and discussion. We look forward to seeing you at the next talk! No prior archaeological knowledge or experience required.
