Abstract
After so many difficult months, we were happy to meet with some of you "in real life" again at our AIECM3 "grand messe" conference on medieval and modern Mediterranean ceramics in Granada last November - and sorry to miss all those who could not attend.
Let's hope there will be more opportunities in 2022, and that we may keep an hybrid version of our forthcoming meetings, with both the option of remote attendance and the obvious advantages of live sessions (including the food & drink "off" ones!).
2022 will see a new version of the POMEDOR website - you may not notice the difference, but the (Drupal) system badly needed an upgrade. In the meantime, we are going to be late in relaying information - thank you for your patience.
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)"
... to Georgia Giannaki, a PhD student at the University of Lyon (France) and the National and Capodistrian University of Athens (Greece), who obtained a Zellidja grant from the French Academy for her PhD project "The beginnings of glazed ceramics in Byzantine Greece".
The XIIIth Congress on Medieval and Modern Period Mediterranean Ceramics of AIECM3 organized by Universidad de Granada, Servicio de investigación de la Alhambra, Unidad de Excelencia de la Alhambra and Fundación Fajalauza; on 8-13 November 2021. AIECM3 is an international association for the study of medieval and modern pottery in the Mediterranean. It organizes the International Conference (CICM3) every three year and also programs innovative thematic workshops.
Belgrade Conference on Archaeological Pottery (BECAP) is an international biennial conference aiming at gathering specialists from the field of pottery studies, organized by the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, and the Institute of Archaeology.
BECAP 22 – Pots as media: Decoration, technology and message transmission
Belgrade, 12-13th May 2022
This book presents the synthesis of a long-term study of ceramics of the 15th century found in the Ctimea. It is based on the analysis of large volumes of archaeological materials. The author proposes a detailed classification, typology and chronology of ceramics and clarifies some technological features of the local and imported wares. She also focuses on the directions and fluxes of ceramics trade, and on the factors which influenced the development of the local pottery production in late medieval Crimea.
As shocking and shameful as it may be, the department of archaeology of the university of Sheffield, which contributes so much to archaeology and archaeometry, is threatened.

On croit souvent qu’en terre d’islam, l’alcool se serait heurté au mur infranchissable de l’interdit religieux. Comme si le Coran – qui prohibe le vin ici-bas, mais le promet dans l’au-delà –avait réglé la question une fois pour toutes.
Comment comprendre, alors, la promotion du raki, dont la production est attestée dès le XVIe siècle, au rang de « boisson nationale » dans la Turquie moderne ? Ou le goût parfois immodéré du sultan Mahmud II pour le champagne ?
