Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture and Its Meanings: 25 - 30 June 2007

This conference aims to encourage heritage practitioners and academics from different disciplines to debate the key terms of its title. It encourages them to discuss the methods by which they analyse material culture, but also the way they present their findings: how the analytical languages and methods of presentation used within their disciplines reconstruct material culture for a wider audience. Those working on such issues both within and outside the periods under consideration are invited to come and talk about the transferability of methodologies - to debate the existence of a specifically pre-modern material culture.
