A new semi-permanent exhibition (until 31 January 2023) is opening at the MUCEM museum (Marseille) about the Mediterranean diet. It includes contents provided by the POMEDOR program.
Yasemin Bağcı will defend her PhD thesis, carried out under the supervision of Joanita Vroom, on November 29th 2017:
Although the medieval ceramic corpus of the Gözlükule project was found in the 1930s, it was only published in a brief article in the 1940s. This PhD research aims to present and assess the medieval pottery assemblage recovered on the mound of Gözlükule, Tarsus with an integrated approach, combining the evidence of pottery and other research carried on the medieval eastern Mediterranean in order to understand questions of production and consumption and the socio-economic and cultural dimensions of material culture.

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!
