Abstract
This workshop is promoting exchange and collaboration amongst Italian, Australian and international experts from across the spectrum of the natural sciences and the humanities. Focus on the impact of recent analytical technological developments in applications to pre-history, human dispersal across the globe, paleo-anthropology and archaeology. The workshop will deal with a variety of interdisciplinary areas, in particular the latest scientific tools in radiometric dating, molecular and isotopic analyses, and spectroscopic and structural studies using advanced radiation techniques operating at unprecedented levels of sensitivity and accuracy. These nuclear-based techniques can provide isotopic characterisation of biological, organic and terrestrial samples of most types; provide chemical, spatial and temporal information of objects leading to identification and mapping of the climate, geology, and anthropological environment; as well as perform non-invasive studies of irreplaceable works of art. © ANSTO
