XIII Jornadas de Jóvenes Investigadores en Arqueología JIA-LACANT 2020, 23-26 septiembre 2020

I Congreso Iberoamericano de Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática, 28-31 octubre Cádiz

La Universidad de Cádiz organiza del 28 al 31 de octubre el primer Congreso Iberoamericano de Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática (CYANIS2020), como un espacio de encuentro para compartir los avances de científicos y debatir sobre los nuevos retos que la Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática deberá afrontar en el futuro a nivel iberoamericano.

Este evento se convoca atendiendo a las siguientes ideas: ​

• Un espacio geográfico común y determinante en la vertebración de la historia marítima: el espacio Iberoamericano como unidad espacial y sociocultural marítima, configurada como la suma de una compleja red de diversas microrregiones que han condicionado la relación del ser humano con el mar.
• Una historia compartida: la Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática no puede entenderse, sobre todo hoy en día, como una disciplina vinculada a unas fronteras nacionales exclusivas. La colaboración con especialistas de diversos continentes y nacionalidades es necesaria y es reflejo de una historia compleja y compartida.
• Hacia una Arqueología Náutica y Subacuática colaborativa, interdisciplinar y social: la investigación se ha enriquecido estos últimos años con la aplicación de técnicas arqueométricas, la incorporación de otros especialistas y el desarrollo de proyectos interdisciplinares. Todo ello, sin dejar de lado la creciente participación y preocupación de la ciudadanía por el patrimonio cultural subacuático. El debate sobre la difusión y el retorno social de la investigación ha alcanzado ya diferentes foros, y cada vez más investigadores trabajan sobre este campo, sus desafíos y posibilidades.

Los idiomas del congreso serán preferentemente el español y el portugués, aunque se aceptarán también propuestas y comunicaciones en inglés o francés.

Los participantes podrán presentar sus propuestas en formato de comunicación oral de 15 minutos o en formato póster, que serán presentados en una sesión a tal efecto.

RESCHEDULED for 2022: Gordon Research Conference “Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage”, July 12 – 17, 2020 Les Diablerets, (near Geneva, Switzerland)

NOTE: It has decided to withdraw this conference and it will be rescheduled for 2022.

The conference, open to researchers from all fields of heritage sciences, will highlight exceptional advances in methodologies and applications, which impact the interpretation, conservation and the fundamental knowledge of global material culture.

Innovative researchers in the field of heritage sciences and a selection of inspiring speakers from related fields will discuss the impact of comprehensive analytical, biological, and engineering approaches on heritage research. In particular, the conference will explore novel ways to address the complexity of multiscale studies on heterogeneous heritage objects by integrating instrumentation, material composition and physical properties with cultural concepts of making, meaning and preserving.

The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are available at the following link https://www.grc.org/scientific-methods-in-cultural-heritage-research-conference/2020/

Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 14, 2020; however the number of participants is limited and is expected to be reached well before the deadline.

Call for abstracts for the international conference «LACONA XIII – Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks», 14-18th September 2020 (Florence)

LACONA XIII “Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks” is the International Conference on advances in photonic techniques for diagnostics and conservation-restoration of Cultural Heritage.

This year, LACONA XIII includes two closely related initiatives:

• Workshop “Photonics for Diagnostics and Conservation of Cultural Heritage”, which will take place in the CNR Area of Sesto Fiorentino (Florence), Italy, on September 14^th , 2020, and
• Conference, which will be held in Florence, at the Auditorium of Santa Apollonia, 15-18^th September 2020.

Participants can register to one or both initiatives. Deadline for abstract submissions April 20^th, 2020

Works presented at the Conference, as poster or oral presentation, can be submitted for publication in a Virtual Special Issue of Journal of Cultural Heritage or in an associated Book of Proceedings. Submitted manuscripts will undergo the usual peer-review process.

Researchers, technologists, conservators and restorers are warmly invited to submit their abstracts on photonic techniques for diagnostics, restoration-conservation and related best practices.
