Abstract
Archaeologists on both sides of the Atlantic have long formed research partnerships, but in the last decade or so the number of collaborative projects has skyrocketed. This session will examine not only case studies of transatlantic work with geoarchaeological implications, but also the ways in which different training and intellectual traditions combine, for example, when European and African scholars trained in Archaeology design and implement research together with scholars from the Americas trained in Anthropology. Contributors will examine theoretical innovations, as well as the application of field and laboratory methods to projects with a geoarchaeology focus or component.
