Join “Histories of Metallurgy and Metal Material Culture,” in-person and online at the Australian National University on Friday 18 November, 2022.

This symposium hosted by the ANU Centre for Art History and Art Theory aims to generate cross-disciplinary dialogue about how we interpret metal in ancient and historical societies. Researchers in history, art history, archaeology, archaeometry, curatorship and creative practice will present papers which adopt diverse approaches to investigating the production, fabrication, meanings and interpretation of metals and metal material culture across chronologies and geographies. 

We welcome interested colleagues in Australia and around the world to join us in person and virtually to participate in the discussions generated by these papers.
