The ArchaeoScience#RO Platform of the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB) is pleased to announce the sixth ArchaeoSciences Seminars.

This seminars are a new initiative of our platform that has the goal of providing a setting for professionals in the Archaeological Sciences field from different parts of the world to share knowledge and transmit meaningful information about the latest issues regarding the current methods and approaches used to study the past. It is also a chance for Romanian students to learn more about the various interdisciplinary aspects of archaeology.

The sixth seminar will take place on 5 - 8 November 2019 at the University of Bucharest, and our guest speaker is Dr. Vanessa Forte from the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.

Vanessa Forte is a PhD in Prehistoric Archaeology and a member of the Laboratory of Technological and Functional Analysis of Prehistoric Artefacts at Sapienza University of Rome. Her research focuses on technology and function of prehistoric artefacts though an integrated approach of archaeometric investigation, technological traces, use wear analyses and experimental archaeology. She recently worked on social aspects of craft productions focusing on craftspeople skill and expertise with a project carried out during a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship hosted by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research of Cambridge University (UK).
