Blending the Material and the Digital: A Project at the Intersection of Museum Interpretation, Academic Research, and Experimental Archaeology, 2020

A recent collaboration between members of the Tracing the Potter’s Wheel project, the 4D Research Lab, and the Allard Pierson Museum and Knowledge Institute illustrates the way that such collaborations can avoid or overcome a number of the pitfalls highlighted in that publication.

This site had been discovered during previous campaigns of the Zakynthos Archaeology Project. The excavations show that the archaeological remains near the top of the hill are severely destroyed due to rearrangements of the landscape. Nevertheless, the remains of a Late Bronze Age house were excavated. This house confirmed the impression that a Mycenaean site of some importance is located at Lithakia-Kamaroti. In addition, there were indications for agricultural use of the site in the Classical or Hellenistic period.

Call for Papers - Ancient Vases in Modern Showcases, 2022

Yet, over the last decades museums have changed and scholars have broadened the field of (iconographic) pottery studies, bringing new perspectives to the discipline and these objects – perceptions of ancient makers and consumers, differentiation between the elite and the lower classes, and also contemporary concerns like racial and gender issues. Furthermore, current museum practice deals with the complex history of collecting Greek vases and issues concerning provenance.
Over the last decade, the voices that contest the Greco-Roman monopoly of antiquity and plea for a more diverse past have become louder and louder. Museums can play an important part to alter the narratives on ‘Classical’ collections in the public domain, but are they listening to and anticipating on new scholarship? During the symposium we roam the field of a specific object category, ancient Greek ceramics, and a specific museum context, that of the 'classical' archaeological exhibit. The aim is to re-negotiate the stories we tell with pots in the museum space and explore possibilities for innovative presentation rooted in contemporary research, bringing together museum professionals, academic researchers and graduate students, and aiming at richer and more layered and diverse future presentations of antiquity.

The next decade he lived as a journalist in Rome. At the outbreak of World War I, Leopold turned back to The Netherlands, but in 1920 he became the first official archaeologist at the Dutch Historical Institute in Rome. This article sketches Leopold’s life and work with particular attention to his focus on Italian prehistoric studies and his relation to the discourse of Classical Archaeology at Dutch universities. Today, Leopold is mostly remembered for his popular newspaper columns and guided tours in Rome. It is argued, however, that the scientific impact of Leopold has been underestimated. He was an important participant observer of Italian prehistoric studies during the interbellum and his time ahead concerning the interdisciplinary and social nature of archaeology and its communication to the wider public.
