Medieval Pottery Research Group Annual Conference 2013
8th June
Mary Rose Museum, Portsmouth
The opening of the new Mary Rose Museum in early 2013 provides an irresistible opportunity for members of the Medieval Pottery Research Group to discuss the topic of ceramics in marine contexts. This one-day conference will include papers on marine themes, entry to the museum displays and access to the reserve collection, where the pottery assemblage will be on view..
The conference will be an opportunity to discuss issues such as the conditions of marine exploration, chronology, trade routes, the influence of maritime technology and the opening up of new markets and expanding horizons.
Full conference fee £35 Concessionary rate £28
