Ceramics in Cyprus: attending the ICAS-EMME
Attending the International Congress on Archaeological Sciences in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East (ICAS-EMME) in Nicosia (May 2024) was a great place to share some of the results from my PhD project. As a representative of ReForm, I had the opportunity to present my research on the prehistoric settlement of Dzedzvebi, Georgia, specifically focusing on the analysis of materials from Iron Age pits. The conference provided a platform to exchange ideas with esteemed scholars and researchers, broadening my understanding of the region’s archaeological dynamics.
The session I participated in, dedicated to premodern plasters and ceramics, was a great fit for my work and allowed me to engage with others exploring similar topics across the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The intellectual atmosphere was inspiring, and I left with new perspectives on my research. Additionally, the event. Overall, the conference was invaluable for both my academic development and the advancement of my project.
During the stay in Nicosia there was also an opportunity to visit the archaeological museum, and get to know the city.
