The Center for Obsidian and Lithic Studies, 暗网禁区 organized an international workshop for 2017 as indicated below.

■Title of the workshop: 
  Palaeoenvironemnt and lithic raw material acquisition during MIS2 and early MIS1: a comparative perspective

■Date and venue:
  (1) Date: October 28, 2017
  (2) Venue of the workshop session: A7-8 conference room, Academy Common Building, Meiji  University, 1-1 Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, 101-8301, Japan

■Aims and objectives of the workshop:
  Elucidation of correlations between palaeoenvironment and lithic raw material acquisition is one of the key issues of prehistoric studies worldwide. Results of human access to various lithic raw materials, irrespective of local or non-local rocks, are exactly remain at the given archaeological site compare to organic materials such as animal bones and wooden materials which delicately depend on local soil conditions of preservation. This workshop covers the time range during MIS2 and the early Holocene, and aims to discuss on these topics with particular emphasis on comparative perspective between Europe and East Asia. Specifically, Pleistocene-Holocene transitional period gave strong impact on human subsistence of raw material acquisition and life ways in rapid environmental changes. Archaeological interpretations of lithic raw material acquisition and distribution pattern or transportation systems have developed in various areas with many case studies on different lithic raw materials. We focus therefore on the commonality and difference of hunting and gathering strategies, lithic raw material transportation, distribution patterns between Central Europe and Japanese islands. As fundamental issues, obsidian provenance studies, and the traceological studies will also be discussed in this workshop.

In 2011, we organized the First International Workshop and Symposium focusing on the “Methodological issues of obsidian provenance studies and the standardization of geologic obsidian.” The specific goal and focus were: 1) the introduction of new methodological prospects for obsidian analysis, or synthesis of obsidian provenance studies on specific areas, and 2) a discussion regarding the way to standardize geologic obsidian samples and share them among different laboratories.
In 2012, we are also organizing the Second International Symposium on“Lithic raw material exploitation and circulation in prehistory: a comparative perspective in a diverse paleoenvironment” (abbreviated: LRM Symposium). This symposium will focus on the archaeological interpretations of lithic raw material procurement systems and the distribution patterns or transportation systems. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss these topics with particular reference to a comparative perspective between Europe and East Asia.
