EMAC BILBAO 2025 – TOPICS<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n\n\n

1<\/strong>. Raw Material and Provenance Studies<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We welcome communications that address networks, trade, long-distance trade and interchange, clay supply, raw material sourcing, and related topics. Studies focusing on the characterization of raw materials, their geological origins, and the reconstruction of exchange networks are particularly encouraged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2<\/strong>. Greener and Sustainable Materials for Ceramic Conservation<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This topic invites contributions that explore the development and application of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials for the conservation and restoration of ceramic artifacts. Presentations may include case studies, innovative materials, and methodologies that minimize environmental impact while ensuring the long-term preservation of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3<\/strong>. Experimental Archaeology, Ethnoarchaeometry, and Organic Residue Analyses<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We accept works that focus on reproduction techniques, reverse engineering, ethnoarchaeometrical studies, and the analysis of organic residues on pottery. Contributions may include experimental approaches to understanding ancient ceramic production processes, as well as insights into the use and function of ceramic vessels through organic residue analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4<\/strong>. Special Topic: Portable and Non-Destructive Analyses<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This topic focuses on the use and development of portable and non-destructive technologies for archaeometric studies. We encourage submissions that utilize techniques such as chemical analyses by pXRF, molecular analyses by Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, hyperspectral imaging, and other non-invasive methods. Case studies and methodological advancements are particularly welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5<\/strong>. Digital and Data-Driven Ceramic Studies<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We invite contributions that explore the application of digital technologies and data-driven approaches in ceramic studies. This includes artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analyses, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, augmented reality (AR), and virtual data preservation. Studies that demonstrate innovative uses of digital tools for the analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of ceramic data are encouraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6<\/strong>. Technology, Production, and Dating: Cross-Cultural and Technological Innovations<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This topic welcomes studies on ceramic technology, production processes, and dating methods. Contributions may include technological analyses of pigments, decorations, glazes, coatings, and building materials, as well as investigations into cross-cultural technological innovations. Case studies on chronological dating and the cha\u00eene op\u00e9ratoire<\/em> of ceramic production are also encouraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7<\/strong>. Theory and Methods<\/em> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We accept works that focus on theoretical developments and methodological advancements in ceramic and archaeometric studies. Contributions may include the proposal of new theoretical frameworks, innovative analytical techniques, and critical discussions on existing methodologies. This topic is open to both conceptual and applied research that pushes the boundaries of ceramic archaeometry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
