Özet:

The current dossier comprises the proceeding of the seminar series titled "Physical Anthropology and Archaeology: new methods and future prospects", held in 2011 in the French Institute of Anatolian Studies -IFEA The seminar had been designed as the part of a long-term project on the initiative of Dr. Yasemin Yılmaz with the strong support of Mehmet Özdoğan, Henri Duday and Françoise Le Mort, with the French Institute of Anatolian Studies -IFEA and the Department of Prehistory of Istanbul University acting as the hosting institutions. Through the time-span of the project, lasting for several months, it became possible to bring together eminent scholars of the distinct fields, physical anthropologists and archaeologists, who otherwise rarely have the oppor­tunity to come together. Even though both disci­plines have similar concerns in looking to the past populations, burdens of the work and time-pressure in the field, rarely made dialogues possible to solve. Accordingly, our aim in designing the program of the seminar was to present the methods of analysis of human remains from the field to the laboratory and to spark off debate among researchers and students.
