Pottery Conference
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2023 2:17 pm
The annual conference of the Medieval and Later Pottery Research Group is coming up - details below:
MLPRG One-Day Conference, Saturday 1st July 2023
The Studio, Birmingham, B2 5EP
Rubbish, Recycling & Curation: the reuse and disposal of ceramics
Pottery is most frequently found in the archaeological record as a result of domestic refuse disposal, but the trail from use to deposition may not be quite that simple. Pots can be reused from their original purpose, either with or without adaptation, they may be curated beyond their original period of use and they may also be used as accompaniments for the dead. Their disposal may not be a single act, and primary refuse may be recycled more than once before eventual deposition.
The conference is open to members and non-members alike. Previous conferences have been made available to an on-line audience and I shall post details of on-line participation once I know what they are.
