SciLifeLab Symposium: Advancing archaeology with multi-disciplinary analysis


Our collaborating partner, SciLifeLab organizes a symposium that offers valuable insights into advanced research methods and analysis highly relevant in interdisciplinary context of archaeogenetics and archaeology.

Archaeology thrives on its intrinsic interdisciplinary nature, drawing from a diverse range of scientific disciplines. SciLifeLab, together with ArchLab, Sweden’s newly initiated national research infrastructure for archaeological laboratories, plays a key role in advancing these investigations by providing access to a wide array of analytical tools and methodologies.

The aim of this symposium is to demonstrate and discuss the powerful combination of techniques such as DNA analysis, isotope analysis, dating methodologies, palaeobotany, osteological analysis, spatial analysis, and environmental archaeology, to address key research questions concerning the past.
