Welcome to the ICAZ Website
The International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) is a nonprofit
organization devoted to promoting archaeozoological research of
the highest scientific standards and fostering communication among
the international community of archaeozoologists.
ICAZ members number more than 500 individuals from 59 countries
around the world—all with the common interest of understanding
past relationships between humans and animals. Institutional affiliations
of ICAZ members range from colleges and universities to government
agencies, research institutions, museums, and private firms. ICAZ
also encourages student participation in the organization.
The next ICAZ working group on Archaeozoology and Genetics will take place in
Basel, Switzerland from June 4th to 6th, 2012. See the A&G Working Group page for more details.
The 10th international meeting of the ASWA-working group was held in Brussels, from June 28 to June 30, 2011, at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Brussels – Belgium. The meeting was followed by a workshop on 'Animal exploitation in Neolithic Central and Western Anatolia'.
