Preliminary
programme
PALEORADIOLOGY 2022
(+ Cremation) workshop
Paleoradiology workshop will bring closer radiological methods to (bio) archaelogists and anthropologists. The participants will be able to bring their own material to scan it during the workshop and to learn basic information on the use of X-ray, mobile X-ray, CT, micro CT and postprocessing with “hands-on“ approach during 3 days of the workshop in clinical and field settings.
It is possible to combine Paleoradiology and Cremation workshop. Participants will learn to analyse cremated human remains, applying archaeological, anthropological, and paleoradiological methodology.
1st-3rd (4th) December 2022
LOCATION
After careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation of currently available information, related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we hope that this year workshop will be held presentially on site as it was in 2021-- in the University Hospital Centre Zagreb (with EU digital COVID certificate). In case of the new disease outbreak workshop will be held online.
