Gothenburg Ceramics 2019 Production, Trade and Cultural Exchange in Europe AD 1000–1850
MUSEUM OF GOTHENBURG, 24-27 APRIL 2019
THE LAST 100 YEARS of historical archaeology in western Sweden have resulted in extensive, primarily urban, ceramic collections in our museums. This material reveals a picture of ceramic development as well as suggesting complex European links spanning a period of 850 years. Although there is ongoing research, much of the material still remains unpublished. This conference aims to meet and discuss European ceramics from a broad perspective. There will also be an opportunity to view pottery assemblages from our museum collections.
