CALL FOR PAPERS

Medieval and Later Pottery Research Group Three-Day Conference, 7–9 October 2022

Grosvenor Museum, Chester

The Late Show:

Exploring Pottery of the Early Modern and Later Periods

To celebrate our recent name change, this year’s Medieval & Later Pottery Research Group conference will focus on pottery of more recent periods. In the past, pottery of this date has often been overlooked as too close to our own time to be of any significance, but we now recognize that, even when of comparatively recent date, pottery still has the potential to address important questions about economy, technology and social behaviour amongst other things.

We therefore invite papers on any aspect of pottery production, distribution and consumption over the last 500 years and from any part of the world.

Expressions of interest, with a brief summary (up to 200 words) should be sent by 1 July 2022 to Lorraine Mepham (l.mepham@wessexarch.co.uk).
