ICCM has decided to extend the
deadline to 31 December 2007 for submission of abstracts
The theme of the 10th conference is Conservation:
An act of Discovery.
It aims to stress how through a systematic and full documentation
during the
process of conservation, one has the occasion to make observations
that deepen one’s understanding of a mosaic, the technique
or techniques involved in its execution, the archaeological context
in which it was found and the historical vicissitudes it has experienced.
Three sub-themes address issues that are very
much on the frontline today:
- the cost of maintenance of mosaics conserved in situ;
- the large-scale projects of mosaic and site conservation; and
- the training of mosaic conservators.
It is also planned to organize two round-tables on related issues
during the conference.
