Introduction
The International Symposium on Archaeometry (ISA) is a specialized forum for research
and applications of Archaeometry and Archaeological Sciences that covers the full
spectrum of topics, materials, techniques, chronologies and regions. The aim of this
symposium is to promote the development and use of scientific techniques, for the
extraction of archaeological and historical information from the cultural heritage and the
paleoenvironment. It involves all Natural Sciences and all types of objects and materials
related with human activity.
In 2000, seventeen years ago, the 32nd International Symposium on Archaeometry, the first
one in a Latin American country, was carried out successfully in Mexico City. This
meeting certainly impacted the research on archaeometry and the archaeological sciences in
Mexico showing the incredible potential of this interdisciplinary research for this country,
rich in cultural heritage.
After this period, the Mexican groups on archaeological sciences have grown and have
been consolidated. Nowadays, from those small groups and laboratories under
development, several networks were developed in Mexico. Since 2014 there is a National
Laboratory of Sciences for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage (LANCIC) and
a National Network of Applied Sciences for Research on Mexican Cultural Heritage (Red
CAICPC) with more than 40 groups working together to develop the sciences in
archaeology, among others fields.
In fact, the 42nd International Symposium on Archaeometry has been organized, by second
time in Mexico and Latin America, by several institutions and groups belonging to the
National Network and to the National Laboratory (LANCIC), the Institute of Physics and
the Institute of Anthropological Research of the National Autonomous University of
Mexico (UNAM), the Autonomous University of Yucatán (UADY), The College of
Michoacan (COLMICH), and the Autonomous University of Campeche (UAC). This
Mexican multi-institutional academic effort brings us this time to Merida, Yucatan. A
region plenty of amazing archaeological Maya remains and historical sites, to exchange
experiences and knowledge about the last developments on archaeometric research.
On behalf of the local organizing committee we would like to thank to these institutions
and their authorities, as well as the National Council of Research and Technology of
Mexico (CONACYT), our academic staffs and students, and the people involved in the
organization for their support to carry out this important meeting.
More than 280 abstracts were submitted by 256 participants and scheduled to ISA 2018,
divided in 6 regular sessions. These works represent institutions from 41 countries of Asia,
America, Africa, Europe and Australia, covering the entire world.
At the ISA2018 we have two special sessions: Prof. Martin Aitken. In memoriam. In this
special tribute, some presentations are dedicated to honoring the memory of Prof. Aitken
and his many contributions to the field of Archaeometry.
The second special session is devoted to Ancient Metallurgy in the Americas. The purpose
of this Theme Session is to explore and promote, various key aspects of metallurgy in
different regions of the Americas, setting out from a diversity of studies, including ore
sources, mining technology, mineral processing and extractive metallurgy.
On behalf of the standing committee, the local organizing committee and the organizing
institutions, we welcome you to the 42nd International Symposium on Archaeometry.
Wishing you all a very informative and enjoyable symposium!
