The International Symposium on Archaeometry (ISA) is a biennial meeting organized to promote the development and use of scientific techniques in order to extract archaeological and historical information from the cultural heritage and the paleoenvironment. ISA is a unique symposium as it provides the only international forum for all activities in Archaeological Sciences, both individually and integrated. It involves all natural sciences and all types of objects and materials related with human activity. The beginning of the ISA can be retraced as early as to the 1960s, when the applications of natural sciences in archaeology started to gain more and more importance. During the early years the Symposium was organized in Oxford and the main focus of the meetings was on archaeological prospection by geophysical methods. Since 1976 it started travelling all over the World. The topics now include research and applications in scientific dating, geophysical methods, field studies, palaeoenvironment, biomaterials, ceramics, glass, vitreous materials, metals, lithics, plasters, pigments, textiles, paper, and so on. The 41 Symposium, the proceedings of which are presented in this volume was organized in May 15-21, 2016 at the city of Kalamata in Greece by Professor Nikos Zacharias and his team of the Department of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources Management, The University of Peloponnese. They did an excellent job in organizing this global gathering of all Archaeological Science experts. The participation was very high reaching a number of over 500, specialists in different topics, scholars and students. The papers presented at the Symposium were both in oral and poster form, equally interesting and stimulating. The participants enjoyed the sea front of Kalamata, music in the city and an excursion to Ancient Messene. As it is usually the case not all papers presented at the Symposium were submitted for publication in the Proceedings. Hence, this ISA 2016 Proceedings volume presents a selection of papers submitted by the authors, which are nevertheless characteristic of most subjects of the Symposium. All papers submitted went a peer reviewing process by a team of international and independent reviewers and those finally accepted are published in this volume. The subjects covered in this meeting were generally grouped in the following topics which form the regular and special sessions in which both oral and poster papers were presented:

特刊标题：2016年考古学国际研讨会（希腊卡拉马塔）：会议记录

国际考古学专题讨论会（ISA）是两年一次的会议，旨在促进科学技术的发展和使用，以便从文化遗产和古环境中提取考古和历史信息。ISA是一个独特的研讨会，因为它为考古科学的所有活动（无论是单独的还是综合的）提供了唯一的国际论坛。它涉及所有自然科学以及与人类活动有关的所有类型的物体和材料。ISA的起源可以追溯到1960年代，当时自然科学在考古学中的应用开始变得越来越重要。在最初的几年中，研讨会在牛津举行，会议的主要重点是通过地球物理方法进行考古勘探。自1976年以来，它开始环游世界。现在的主题包括在科学测年，地球物理方法，野外研究，古环境，生物材料，陶瓷，玻璃，玻璃材料，金属，石板，灰泥，颜料，纺织品，纸张等中的研究和应用。第41届研讨会于2016年5月15日至21日在希腊卡拉马塔市由Nikos Zacharias教授及其大学历史，考古学和文化资源管理系组成的小组组织伯罗奔尼撒半岛。他们在组织这次所有考古科学专家的全球聚会方面做得非常出色。参加人数非常高，共有500多名不同主题的专家，学者和学生参加。研讨会上发表的论文既有口头形式，也有海报形式，既有趣又刺激。参加者们享受了卡拉马塔（Kalamata）海滨，城市中的音乐以及远古的Messene游览。通常情况下，并非所有在研讨会上发表的论文都被提交在论文集上发表。因此，本《 ISA 2016会议录》卷提供了由作者提交的精选论文，但这仍然是本次研讨会大多数主题的特色。提交的所有论文均由一个由国际和独立审稿人组成的小组进行了同行审阅，最终被接受的论文被发表在此卷中。本次会议所涉及的主题通常分为以下主题，这些主题构成了定期和特别会议，在会议上分别发表了口头和海报论文：
