The International Congress on Roman Bioarchaeology (ICORB), with support from the Institute for Anthropological Research, will hold its 4th Annual Meeting at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, Croatia, from 31 August to 2 September 2025. The annual conference provides an opportunity for international researchers to share ongoing research involving Roman-era archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological, mortuary, and human remains. The conference emphasizes cross-disciplinary dialogue, merging traditional archaeological methods with new theoretical frameworks, and ultimately encourages scholars to ask new questions and push methodological boundaries. Presentations and posters at the annual conference do not merely showcase results; they become springboards for discussion and reinterpretation, with scholars offering real-time feedback on research and theoretical developments. Whether you’re fascinated by ancient diets, disease, migration, or marginalized voices within the Roman world, our speakers will share the latest breakthroughs and insights that reshape how we understand the Roman past.
