Themes
We kindly ask all participants to send us a title and abstract (around 15 lines, ±200 words) before the end of October, 2011.
This workshop aims to bring together specialists working on prehistoric ceramics from the Near East in the broadest sense. As a general focus we selected the theme of Late Neolithic decorated pottery traditions.
However, papers not immediately related to this theme are welcomed as long as they fit the general theme.
What raw materials and ceramic technologies did people employ?
How did they paint their designs?
How can we use decorated ceramics to explore social networks and identities?
What did these decorated pottery traditions mean socially?
