BIOANTH at AAI-UZI Congress in Cagliari, 2025
From 16 to 19 September, a delegation from BIOANTH took part in the AAI-UZI Combined Congress (Italian Anthropological Association & Italian Zoological Union) in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Five oral contributions and one poster were presented with great success, the latter receiving an award. Many thanks to all the conference organisers!
We would also like to thank Dr Melania Gigante and the director of the mission, Professor Jacopo Bonetto (University of Padua, Italy) for welcoming us to the archaeological site of Nora and accompanying us on a tour of the ongoing excavations.
