Professional AMS Dating Lab Beta Analytic Co-sponsors Zooarchaeology Conference in Portugal

Beta Analytic Inc., a radiocarbon dating laboratory in Miami, Florida, is co-sponsoring the First Zooarchaeology Conference in Portugal / I Congresso Internacional de Zooarqueologia em Portugal (ZaP 2012). The two-day conference will be held at the University of Lisbon beginning March 8, 2012. Martin Tesini, Beta Analytic’s Operations Manager for Latin America/Iberian Peninsula, will be taking charge of the company’s booth at the conference.

According to Mr. Tesini, zooarchaeologists in Europe appreciate the Beta Analytic lab’s fast turnaround time, high-quality results, and commitment to confidentiality. “We don’t have a co-publication requirement. All reports are owned by clients, and results are always confidential. Our fees are inclusive of Carbon-13/Carbon-12 measurements and calendar calibration when applicable. Beta Analytic clients have an online archive accessible 24/7. They can view all their past results and pending analyses in the archive including photos of the samples submitted,” he adds.

The conference aims to stimulate communication between zooarchaeologists and the rest of the archaeological community working in Portugal. Conference themes include comparative studies of multi-period assemblages and the link between traditional zooarchaeology and ancient DNA. ZaP 2012 is organized by the Centro de Arqueologia da Universidade de Lisboa (UNIARQ) in cooperation with Centro de Biologia Ambiental da Faculdade de Ciencias UL (CBA).
