WORKSHOP
"NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE"

(16-19 December 2001,
Monastery "Kloster Bronnbach" near Wertheim, Germany)

Workshop organized within the framework of the bilateral Greek-German on Research and Technology.

PROGRAM

PAST SOCIETIES AND MATERIALS: ARCHAEOLOGICAL INFORMATION AND WRITTEN SOURCES

There are several studies on the correspondence and non-correspondence between historical and material sources in literate societies. However, few have explicitly addressed issues such as the perception of materials and technological developments. For this conference we are soliciting papers on the combination/confrontation between archaeology and literary sources with regards to the study of ancient materials. Questions we would like to ask include: To what extent are archaeology and archaeometry necessary in the study of aspects historic periods where written sources are available? Can one source of knowledge be assumed to be more accurate than others? How do written descriptions of techniques or recipes compare with modern experimental data? How might we combine archaeological and literary evidence to study past categorization and perception of different materials?

We welcome contributions on any area and from any source (i.e. archaeology, archaeometry and, of course, history), although we would like to focus on case studies where conflicting or complementary pieces of evidence have been identified.

The One-Day Conference will be held at the Institute of Archaeology (University College London) during the second half of May, on a date still to be confirmed. For further queries or suggestions, or if you have a contribution that you consider that could fit into this framework, please address your emails and/or abstracts to Marcos Martinon-Torres <m.martinon-torres@ucl.ac.uk>, preferably before the end of the current term.

The year 2000 marked the first time that the Society for American Archaeology honoured an excellent student conference paper with an award. This newly established award recognizes original student research as a growing component of the annual meeting, and is a way to highlight outstanding contributions. All student members of SAA are eligible to participate. The papers will be evaluated anonymously by committee members on both the quality of the arguments and data presented, and the paper's contribution to our understanding of a particular area or topic in archaeology.

Special requirements:

A student must be the primary author of the paper and be the presenter at the Annual Meeting.

Six copies of the conference paper and relevant figures and tables must be submitted (please submit these copies without a name so that they may be reviewed anonymously).

The paper should be double-spaced, with standard margins, and 12-pt font. The submitted paper should include any relevant figures, tables, and references cited. An average 15-minute paper is approximately 10-12 pages in length (double-spaced, not including references cited, figures, and tables).

The award winner will receive a citation from the SAA president, a piece of official SAA merchandise, a $250 cash prize, as well as over $700 worth of books/journals from the following sponsors:

Academic Press
The University of Alabama Press
AltaMira Press

Colleagues

I would like to inform you of the next archaeological prospection workshop to be offered by the National Park Service. The workshop is designed to provide a practical application of geophysical equipment and aerial photographic techniques available for the identification, evaluation, and ultimately, the conservation and protection of cultural resources. Field exercises associated with the course will concentrate on the application of these techniques to archaeological investigations. The enrolment is open to all professional archaeologists, university graduate and undergraduate students, cultural resource managers, and others interested in the application of non-destructive techniques to archaeological investigations. For more information and the announcement, please contact me at steve_de_vore@nps.gov.

Precis de conservation preventive

Le patrimoine, ce n'est pas seulement ce qu'on va admirer dans Ies musees et les monuments historiques; lα conservation, ce n'est pas seulement l' affaire des conservateurs. Le patrimoine est fait de tous ~ objets auxquels on tient, que l'on voudrait voir se deteriorer le moins possible et que I'on pense devoir transmettre a ses heritiers tels qu'on les a reςus de ses aieux.
L'objet de ce livre est de communiquer a ceux qui possedent des objets d'un certain prix, ou qui en ont I'usage et la garde, Ies notions elementaires qui permettent, comme on dit, d'avoir l'oeil sur leurs tresors. Ecrit par une equipe de restaurateurs, de scientifiques et de conservateurs qui tous sont des specialistes eprouves du patrimoine, ίl explique Ies delicats problemes de la conservation preventive dans un langage simple et clair, avec d'abondantes illustrations.
