Computational archaeology, palaeontology and not-so-computational pizza

Second official Computational Archaeology Meetup in Johannesburg with guest speaker Viktor Radermacher and Pizza!

Entelect head quarters has sponsored a venue and pizza for the latest Computational Archaeology Meetup. The meetup will take place on the 21st of November at 18:30 at the Entelect Head Quarters in Melrose Arch.

There will be two talks:

• Kristina Young (Georgieva), a software developer, will give a short introduction to computational archaeology and what it is all about. This will be a short 10-15 minute talk.

• Viktor Radermacher, a computational palaeontologist from Wits, will be presenting on the use of X-ray microtomography to analyse dinosaur bones. This will be a 30 minute presentation giving an introduction to microtomography and a more detailed view into his research in the distribution of postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in theropod dinosaurs.

Please RSVP to this event so we have an idea of numbers to cater for!

We look forward to seeing you there!
