DESCRIPTION:<p>Spaces are limited\; please email Adrian Currie (<a href="mailto:adrian.currie@anu.edu.au">adrian.currie@anu.edu.au</a>) to reserve one.</p>\nHistorical scientists frequently face evidential scarcity: long-ago events are not always amenable to experimental investigation and their traces are degraded and incomplete. Yet\, hypotheses about the deep past are frequently rich\, sophisticated and above all plausible. &nbsp\;How is such success achieved? Rocks\, Bones &amp\; Ruins brings together scientists and philosophers to discuss the methodology and epistemic situation of the historical sciences.<br> <br> <br> Keynote Speakers<br> <br> Alison Wylie (University of Washington): How archaeological evidence bites back: scaffolding\, critical distance\, and triangulation.<br> <br> Derek Turner (Connecticut College): A second look at the colors of the dinosaurs.<br> <br> <br> Presenters<br> <br> Lindell Bromham (ANU): Testing hypotheses in macroevolution.\n<br> Peter Hiscock (Usyd): Staying put or moving on? Ethnographic reference as stabilizing framework or as limiting vision in Australian archaeology.<br> <br> John Wilkins (Usyd): Evolutionary novelty and surprise.<br> <br> Adrian Currie (ANU/Calgary): Ethnographic analogy\, the comparative method\, and archaeological special pleading.<br> <br> Malte Ebach (UNSW) &amp\; Michaelis Michael (UNSW): Do the links between evidence and causation in the historical sciences stand up to scrutiny? A need for standard criteria.<br> <br> Roland Fletcher (Usyd): What are the entities of cultural evolution?<br> <br> Kim Shaw-Williams (ANU) &amp\; Ivan Gonzalez-Cabrera (ANU): towards a new view of human origins: the wetlands foraging hypothesis.<br> <br> Maureen O'Malley (Usyd): Molecular stories from the life sciences: reconciling the past.<br> <br> Robert Hurley (VUW): Ask any scientician: the unique difficulties of applying the philosophy of the historical sciences to human history.<br> <br> <br> See
