Proceedings of the 6th ICAZ TWG meeting- 9th TAPHOS

Two leading congresses – TAPHOS  and the Taphonomy Working Group (TWG) of the ICAZ – in the same 2022 meeting  to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Efremov’s Taphonomy proposal as a scientific discipline.

The proceedings were published in special numbers in Quaternary Science Advances (Volume 12 y 13) and Historical Biology
