The final conference of the POMEDOR project "People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean", funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), will take place in Lyon on 19-21 May 2016.

The conference will give us the opportunity to present the results of the program as well as research on related topics, to discuss recent advances and further research.

A large part of the conference will be devoted to food and foodways as may be approached through archaeological and archaeometric studies of pottery, but research using other approaches will be welcome too.

There will be time for presentations and discussions on specific aspects (such as food products, their containers and trade; food preparation and cooking; food consumption and dining habits), as well as for more synthetic studies.

The proceedings of the conference will be published.

More information to come!
