The next meeting of the Berlin Archaeological Pottery Network will take place on September 29th, where we will look into the methodological issues behind working with pottery in museum collections. The topic will be presented by Dr. Christine Kainert (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Universität Münster), who will share her experiences of handling and documenting archaeological materials when working in a museum in comparison to studies during an ongoing excavation. In addition we will also discuss the ethical aspects of collecting, storing, and exporting objects.
