CALL FOR CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS AND ABSTRACTS

THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN PHYTOLITH AND STARCH RESEARCH IN THE 
AUSTRALIAN-PACIFIC-ASIAN REGIONS

Hosted by the Centre for Archaeological Research
To be held at the Australian National University
August 1-3, 2001
Canberra, Australia

The last few years have seen significant advances in the realms of 
phytolith and starch research, particularly as applicable to archaeological 
and palaeoenvironmental studies in the Australian-Pacific-Asian regions. It 
is thus an opportune time to hold a meeting in Australia focusing on the 
state-of-the-art and current research projects involving starch and 
phytoliths. The meeting is designed to serve as a forum for both 
investigators who are actively involved in starch and phytolith research as 
well as interested researchers from other disciplines, such as 
archaeologists, who may be unaware of recent advances and what these 
techniques might offer in terms of advancing their own 
research.  Contributions from all areas of phytolith and/or starch research 
will be sought for oral or poster presentations. Papers relevant to the 
Australian-Pacific-Asian regions are particularly welcome.

Key note addresses will be delivered by Dr Dolores Piperno (Smithsonian 
Tropical Research Institute, Panama) and Dr Debby Pearsall (University of 
Missouri).

Please find attached an information package and registration form.

Registrations are required by 15th June, and abstracts by June 30th.  For 
further information you can contact myself at Lynley.Wallis at jcu.edu.au or 
Amanda Kennedy (Amanda.Kennedy at anu.edu).

Regards,
Lynley Wallis
On behalf of the Organising Committee
