Potentials and Challenges in the Historical Periods
Bilkent Üniversitesi, Hacettepe Üniversitesi, the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA), and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI) Istanbul invite abstract proposals for the Bioarchaeology in Türkiye Conference.

Contributions from all relevant disciplines (such as history, archaeology, geography, archaeobotany, zooarchaeology, human osteoarchaeology, biomolecular sciences etc.) are welcome. Particularly promising are interdisciplinary presentations that bridge the gap among science, archaeology, and history. Contributions should be in the form of oral presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for Q&A) or posters. There will be a dedicated poster session, including a discussion of the research presented on them.
The Organising Committee particularly welcomes and encourages contributions from Early Career Researchers.
The conference will be free to attend, although registration will be required; information regarding registration will be forthcoming.
Accommodation on campus will be provided for speakers and poster presenters. Abstracts should be submitted to: bioarch2027@bilkent.edu.tr by Friday, 12th of June 2026.
