We are pleased to announce that the Archaeological Sciences of the Americas Symposium (ASAS) will be held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday, October 5 and Saturday, October 6, 2012. The symposium is dedicated to the advancement of archaeological research that applies scientific techniques to the analysis of prehistoric and historic materials. The symposium traditionally focuses on the archaeology of the Americas. However, students and professionals engaged in projects outside the Americas are also encouraged to submit abstracts. ASAS gathers graduate students and professionals in an intimate setting to share the latest research and methods spanning anthropological and paleontological sub-disciplines, including but not limited to archaeometry, molecular archaeology, paleobotany, paleoecology, geoarchaeology, and GIS.

The 2012 symposium is co-sponsored by the Vanderbilt University (Department of Anthropology, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences) and the University of Florida (Department of Anthropology).
