Conference: 10th-12th September 2025
The European Meeting on Ancient Ceramics (EMAC) is a biennial conference that gathers scholars and researchers with diverse backgrounds in archaeometric studies of ancient ceramics. EMAC 2025, held in Bilbao, will showcase cutting-edge methodologies, advanced laboratory techniques, and case studies on technological and provenance research of ancient ceramics from around the world.
Since its inception in the early 1990s, EMAC has expanded from its initial Mediterranean focus to include global studies. The conference continues to promote interdisciplinary research, bridging the gap between the humanities and the hard sciences to deepen our understanding of ancient ceramic production, distribution, and conservation.
