Half a Century of Archaeological Science in Greece: Past, Present, Future
On November 29th, 2024, the Fitch Laboratory at the British School at Athens (BSA) will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Since its inception in 1974, the Fitch has grown from a small experiment into an international hub for archaeological science. As the first laboratory of its kind in Greece—and among only a few globally—the Fitch Laboratory’s history traces the development of the field globally, as well as in Greece.
On this occasion the Fitch Laboratory team welcomes the opportunity to reflect and celebrate Half a Century of Archaeological Science in Greece. We have organised an international conference where leading experts in the field will explore how archaeological science has contributed to our understanding of the human past in Greece, focusing on three main topics: Movement and Mobility; Everyday Life; Landscape Histories and Environment.
The provisional programme will be available from the end of September.
