Ravenna and the traditions of late antique and early Byzantine craftsmanship- Glen Peers

Ravenna and the traditions of late antique and early Byzantine craftsmanship: Culture, labor and the economy Organizer: Salvatore Cosentino (University of Bologna, former Academy Fellow) Co-sponsor: University of Bologna Ravenna preserves the richest and most abundant historical evidence of all of the Mediterranean centers of late antique and early Byzantine artifacts. Its cultural heritage is vast, ranging from luxury objects to papyri and inscriptions, from mosaics to glass, from ivories to marble and from pottery to coins. Starting from concrete typologies of hand-manufactured goods existing in the Ravennate cultural milieu, the conference aims to enlarge its focus on the multifaceted traditions of late antique and early Byzantine handicraft from the fourth to the eighth century CE. Our goal is to consider patronage, social taste, acculturation, workers and the economic industry of production which supported the demand, circulation and distribution of artifacts, rather than evaluating the artistic qualities of the objects themselves.
