Would you like to know what the new generation of archaeologists are working on? Then come to one of the ArcheoScience-NU.nl sessions. In an interactive way, you'll be taken on the journey of young researchers seeking new answers. Three researchers per session, and twelve in total, will explain how they conduct research at the cutting edge and what technologies they use: from pXRF, use-wear analysis, aDNA, sedDNA, micromorphology and landscape modelling to calculus analysis. After three pitches, there will be a Open Space, where you can ask the speakers all your questions. Be surprised and inspired by this talent, taking the stage NOW.
