The research carried out within the scope of the ARIES project - The variation of Iberian domestic sheep: an archaeogenetics study - is multidisciplinary, bringing together researchers from the fields of Animal Genetics and Zooarchaeology. The ARIES project was designed to answer key questions about the genomic diversity, population structure and genetic improvement of native sheep breeds in the Iberian Peninsula. And, through the study of archaeological remains collected in this territory, to uncover crucial information about their origins, evolutionary trajectories and differentiation. ARIES began in March 2023 and is expected to last three years, so we felt it was appropriate to hold a meeting open to the entire community to communicate the results already achieved and promote the exchange of ideas among researchers, postgraduate students, breeder associations and anyone else interested in the subject.
