Workshop on archaeomagnetic dating

We invite all interested parties to a workshop focused on archaeomagnetic dating. It will take place in the premises of the Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i. at Praha-Lysolaje and Průhonice on December 2, 2025.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive overview of the method that allows to determine the age of heat-affected archaeological finds based on the preserved record of geomagnetic field. The morning and afternoon blocks will be guided by researchers from the Laboratory of Paleomagnetism at Průhonice together with their foreign colleagues, who will share their experience in the field of archaeomagnetism. Participants can register online here. For additional information click here.
