DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ingrid Ward (University of Western Australia)\nOur u
 nderstanding of material culture and past environmental contexts have been
  utterly transformed over the last two decades by new and greatly improved
  scientific methods. Innovative investigations revolve around refinement o
 f methods for chronological dating\, characterization and provenancing\, b
 ioarchaeology\, geoarchaeology and the emerging sub-discipline of cyber-ar
 chaeology. As ever\, when dealing with the past\, 'meaning' remains more d
 ifficult and we are always be limited by what little we can know.  With th
 e help of multi-scalar\, high-resolution techniques\, there at least exist
 s potential for useful and even groundbreaking information to be retrieved
  from material culture\, the absence of which might inhere a sense of doub
 t.  This talk will illustrate some applications of science and technology 
 that are proving valuable in Australian archaeology\, drawing from my own 
 studies at ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron as well as other novel mul
 ti-scientific projects.  At the heart of these is an interdisciplinary app
 roach and an aim to provide the most accurate understanding of the dynamic
  past from what is often a very fragmentary record.\n\nhttps://events01.sy
