We are delighted to announce that the University of Pisa will host the upcoming AWRANA Conference between 9th and 12th of April 2026. This will be the 4th edition of the Association of Use-Wear and Residue Analysts Conference, following successful meetings in Leiden, Nice, and Barcelona. The theme, “Breaking Patterns in Archaeology,” highlights the transformative role that macro- and microscopic approaches to wear and residue analysis play in reshaping archaeological interpretations. The conference welcomes presentations spanning early prehistory to contemporary times, with no chronological boundaries, and embraces all disciplines that examine wear marks and residues.
All necessary information regarding registration, abstract submission deadlines, program organization, and venue location will be updated promptly on this website.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pisa for what promises to be a stimulating and intellectually enriching event.
