FACEM – 9e édition

admin2065

Dear colleagues,

 

We proudly announce the ninth edition of FACEM (www.facem.at)!

This edition contains several articles on the composition of coarse pottery from southern Lazio, Italy, dating from the 4th to the 1st centuries BC. There is also a contribution on an Archaic composition of architectural terracotta produced in Syracuse.

More news is that, since 2024, together with the IT-Support for Research, University of Vienna, new software has been developed that allows FACEM to comply with the FAIR principles. Furthermore, while retaining the acronym, the name « Fabrics of the Central Mediterranean » has been changed to « Fabrics of Ancient Ceramics in the Mediterranean » due to the planned expansion of ceramic fabrics beyond the original chronological and geographical scope of the database.

Cari colleghi,

siamo lieti di annunciare la nona edizione di FACEM (www.facem.at)!

Questa edizione contiene diversi articoli sulla composizione della ceramica grezza proveniente dal Lazio meridionale, in Italia, risalente al IV-I secolo a.C. È presente anche un contributo su una composizione arcaica di terracotta architettonica prodotta a Siracusa.

Un’altra novità è che, dal 2024, è stato sviluppato un nuovo software che consente a FACEM di conformarsi ai principi FAIR. Inoltre, pur mantenendo l’acronimo, il nome “Fabrics of the Central Mediterranean” è stato cambiato in “Fabrics of Ancient Ceramics in the Mediterranean” a causa della prevista espansione delle composizioni ceramiche oltre l’ambito cronologico e geografico originale del database.

Reflections of cross-cultural contacts in the Roman and Late Antique World’, a broad geographical and chronological perspective that we hope will be of interest to many of you.

On the website, you can download the document to submit a proposal, which must be sent to reicretmadrid2026@gmail.com by the end of March.

We are aware that several international ceramics conferences are taking place this year, but we would be delighted to have you join us. We would like to remind you that the RCRF is committed to publishing within two years, always presenting the conference proceedings in the next edition (the next one will be in Alexandria, Egypt, in 2028).
