The University of Geneva is pleased to announce its 7th summer course on Experimental Neolithic Pottery, which will take place in Kiladha (the Argolis, Greece) from August 16 to August 21, 2021.
This experimental project aimed to reproduce the Hellenistic (fourth-third century BC) Greek pottery production process. The project was conducted by the authors, Francesca Tomei, PhD graduate in Archaeology at the University of Liverpool, and Juan Ignacio Jimenez Rivero, a ceramist specializing in replicating ancient pottery technology, who frequently collaborates with the Department of Classics, Ancient History, Archaeology and Egyptology, University of Manchester, on ceramic experimental archaeology projects and activities.
Delayed by the pandemic, the 2022 event was organised with the support of the local community, the Ephorate of Antiquities, and the re-enactment group ‘Hoplologia’ lead by Christian Cameron. Using re-enactors to commemorate their Classical history was, for a variety of political and religious reasons, an important step for the Greek authorities to take. Christian gathered around ninety very experienced and passionate re-enactors and reconstructors in Plataea from at least eight different counties, at their own expense.
The research team of the TEFRA program invites you to the action "Experimental Approaches to Archaeology: The Burning of the Dead" on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 April 2023 in the village of Sokaras, Heraklion, Crete.
As a retired pilot, I enjoy studying history and especially mythology and pre-historic era. Using methods of "strategic analysis" I try to approach the truth of ancient people's way of life and their technology.
This 2-day event will take place in Leptokaryes village, Florina and will host a number of participants, most of which will be archaeologists, history-enthusiasts and re-enactors.
The first day will focus on experimental archaeology as we will have the opportunity to test a number of issues regarding the use of the Macedonian pike (Sarissa) in the field:
#Compast will bring together people who want to share and extend their knowledge of how live interpretation and museum theatre are used to interpret the past in museums and at heritage sites. The Conference is organised by IMTAL Europe and the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences/Dept. of Communication, Media and Culture.
While researching ancient lime mortar technology, we encountered a number of cases in published archaeological studies that refer to the use of ashes and charcoal as aggregates in mixtures. These mixtures were tested in a small number of experiments, and this paper presents the results.
