Gothenburg Ceramics: Production, trade and cultural exchange in Europe AD 1000–1850

MUSEUM OF GOTHENBURG
9 – 11th of May 2019

Theme
The last 100 years of historical archaeology in western Sweden have resulted in extensive, primarily urban, ceramic collections in our museums. This material reveals a picture of ceramic development as well as suggesting complex European links spanning a period of 850 years. Although there is ongoing research, much of the material still remains unpublished. This conference aims to meet and discuss European ceramics from a broad perspective. There will also be an opportunity to view pottery assemblages from our museum collections.

Call for papers 
We invite presentations covering topics such as production, distribution and trade, waste management, contacts and diaspora, cooking and dining habits or other social aspects. The presentations will be a maximum of 20 minutes back to back, including questions.

Please send title and abstract (max 1500 characters) to: tom.wennberg@kultur.goteborg.se
Last day to submit abstracts: 30th September 2018
