Summarizes the outcome of interdisciplinary workshops based on a network of different sciences such as physical anthropology, archaeology, zooarchaeology, geology, mineralogy, and computer sciences with regard to the research potential in future bioarchaeological research
New methods of “fuzzy data mining” by the computer sciences are addressed for the first time
Based on the outcomes of international workshops sponsored by the German Science Foundation and the Centre of Advanced Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilian- University Munich
