Stable isotope analysis and modelling in freshwater ecosystems
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a 1 day symposium on stable isotope analysis and modelling in freshwater ecosystems. We invite abstracts for poster and oral presentations from researchers using stable isotope modelling, particularly using Mixer and SIAR statistic packages, in freshwater environments. The symposium will take place on Wednesday 14th September 2011 in Queen’s University Belfast. There will also be an afternoon practical workshop in SIAR, a stable isotope analysis package for R ©, A language and environment for statistical computing hosted by package writers Andrew Jackson and Andrew Parnell which will provide attendees with an opportunity to use it with their own data. We will also have Mark Trimmer (QMUL) and other speakers to be confirmed.
Registration Fee
£10 including lunch, tea and coffee.

If the assumption that prehistoric identities are intrinsically intertwined with the physical remnants of material culture is accepted, then how can the archaeological record be interpreted to help us understand who our predecessors were? Where does the individual end and the collective begin?
This two-day symposium will concentrate on the theme of identity within prehistoric Western Europe, with a focus on Ireland and northwest Britain. Speakers will present a case study to discuss the role that the construction and consumption of artefacts, settlement, burial, or ritual monuments has had in generating and maintaining a social identity within a small geographic region, or on a wider, island-wide or intra-island scale.
Session Titles
Material culture of the living
Material culture of the dead
Architectural and ritual expressions
Our construct or theirs?
Debate session
Registration Fee
Free to all
