Innovative Interpretive Approaches in Microwear and Residue Analyses
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
There have been major advances in microwear and residue analyses in recent years regarding method development. Interpretive methods, however, have not been in step with these new methodological developments. In this symposium we present new ways of applying microwear and residue analysis for the study of human culture, economics, social organisation, and site formation. With greater understanding of the potential contribution of these techniques, we hope to extend the breadth of their use and further expand their applications in archaeology.
