Project description
Training and research in premodern plasters and ceramics
Premodern plasters and ceramics are the first synthetic materials that humankind has produced. The EU-funded PlaCe project is a pioneering interdisciplinary European training network (ETN) that will train-through-research the next generation of archaeologists in premodern plasters and ceramics from the Eastern Mediterranean. The project will study the technologies, know-how, raw materials and instruments developed and used through the centuries for their production. A consortium of eight universities and research centres in collaboration with other universities and entities from the public and private sectors will assist the early-stage researchers to confront current and future challenges in the domains of archaeological sciences and cultural heritage. The research aims to contribute to a further understanding of the evolution of plaster and ceramic technologies and their adoption in diverse social settings.
Objective
PlaCe is a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary ETN that aims at training-through-research the next generation of archaeological scientists, integrating a wide range of theoretical and analytical methods for the comprehensive study of pre-modern plasters and ceramics, the first synthetic materials produced by humankind. The interdisciplinary study of these materials from the pre-modern eastern Mediterranean, as well as the technologies, technological know-how, raw materials, and tools developed and employed through the millennia for their production, will provide the framework for the implementation of high-quality training that will assist the recruited early-stage researchers to face current and future challenges in the fields of archaeological sciences and cultural heritage. The eight universities and research centres composing the consortium of PlaCe will join forces in partnerships with other universities and entities from the public and private sectors, in order to facilitate the researchers’ mobility, to develop their analytical and transferable skills, and to increase their employability. At the same time, the multiple individual research projects accommodated by PlaCe will contribute to our enhanced understanding of the evolution of plaster and ceramic premodern technologies, and their adoption in differing social settings, contributing to the history and archaeology of Europe and the eastern Mediterranean.
