La conférence « Reconstituer l’alimentation des populations du passé grâce à l'archéologie », aura lieu le jeudi 24 Novembre 2022 à 19h à la Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie – Lyon

This research workshop of the Israel Science Foundation was organized by Judith Bronstein (Haifa University), Lisa Yehuda (Tel Aviv University) and POMEDOR member Edna Stern (Israel Antiquities Authority) in the framework of their ISF project.

The program proposed talks by several other POMEDOR members, and included a great visit of the emblematic site of Saint-Jean d'Acre, guided by the very archaeologists who excavated large parts of the Crusader city and studied its food-related stuctures and material culture (E. Stern, E.J. Stern, L. Yehuda).

A two-day conference organised by Chris Wickham (Oxford) and Alessandra Molinari (Tor Vergata)

The aim of the Symposium is to promote the development and use of scientific techniques, for the extraction of archaeological and historical information from the cultural heritage and the paleoenvironment. It involves all Natural Sciences and all types of objects and materials related with human activity. Emphasis will be given to integrated and multi-disciplinary studies involving archaeological or anthropological research.  

Since its foundation in 1976, the GMPCA (Groupe des Méthodes Pluridisciplinaires Contribuant à l'Archéologie) association has aimed to develop research on multidisciplinary methods contributing to archaeology in France and around the world. This association brings together specialists from various disciplines contributing to the resolution of archaeological and art history problems. The interface of these disciplines with archaeology is called "Archaeometry".

Within this series of seminars proposed by the CReA laboratory (Université Libre de Bruxelles), POMEDOR member Edna Stern presents a talk entitled:

"Migration, cultural encounters and economic changes: The emergence of specialized pottery workshop clusters in the Crusader kingdoms and states (12th-13th centuries)"
