The Levantine Ceramics Project (LCP) is a collaborative venture of archaeologists working on Levantine ceramics of all eras—from the Neolithic period (c. 5500 B.C.E.) through Ottoman times (c. 1920). Regular workshops are an integral component of the project. At workshops contributors present new discoveries and add information to the LCP’s ever-growing data set. We share ideas, discuss issues of terminology and definition, and better our overall understanding of the field.

Since 2012 the LCP has facilitated workshops in Greece, Israel, Turkey, Poland, Belgium, France, and the United States. In 2019 we will hold three workshops: in Turkey, Cyprus, and Israel. Workshops are always open to all scholars, students, and anybody interested in the study of Levantine pottery.

If you are interested in hosting or participating in an LCP workshop, please contact the LCP editor (aberlin@bu.edu) for more information.

MAY 29-30TH, 2020: Ceramics of Western Anatolia through the ages: Troad, Ionia, Lydia & Caria

Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA), Bodrum

The Levantine Ceramics Project and INA invite your participation in a workshop on the longue durée of ceramic production in western Anatolia, with special attention to the regions of the Troad, Ionia, Lydia, and Caria, to be held Friday, May 29th – Saturday, May 30th, 2020. In this workshop our goal is to continue building up the site’s data set, begun at the Keramos-LCP workshop held in May 2018 in Izmir, and continued at the Bilkent-LCP workshop held in May 2019.

For this workshop, we are not asking for traditional papers, but rather presentations on data submitted to the LCP in advance of the workshop. Submissions may focus on ceramic wares/ware families, vessels, kiln/workshop sites, and/or archaeometric studies. You may submit as much information as you like, and you may give more than one presentation. We ask that you submit your data by March 30th, 2020.

APRIL 29-30TH, 2020: Ophiolitic Clays and Petro-fabrics of Southern Anatolia & Cyprus

Bilkent University, Ankara

The Levantine Ceramics Project and the Department of Archaeology at Bilkent University invite your participation in a workshop focused on the ophiolitic clays and petrofabrics of southern Anatolia and Cyprus. The ophiolitic complexes of these regions share a geological substratum, and pottery made from its soils share a similar minerology. This makes it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to distinguish between the products of each zone via petrographic analysis.
