Every two years the IARPotHP holds a major conference giving space for scientific dialogue and the Association’s General Assemblies. From 2011 to 2023 six conferences have been organized. The volumes with the proceedings of the first four conferences are already published by Phoibos Verlag. Please make your order directly to the publisher.
SECOND CONFERENCE of IARPotHP (IARPotHP 2):

The sixth conference of IARPotHP (IARPotHP 6) took place in Catania and Syracuse in 2023, October 9th-12th. The subject of the conference was:
NEW THEORIES AND METHODS FOR OLD POTTERY:
INNOVATING PERSPECTIVES ON HELLENISTIC CERAMICS
The aim of the 6th IARPotHP conference was to present the most up-to-date interpretative approaches to the study of the complex phenomena linked to the production of everyday artefacts used in Hellenistic times; to disassociate the study of these productions from the traditional practice of merely cataloguing items and to articulate, instead, clearer and more satisfying answers to the questions archaeologists nowadays pose to objects of material culture.
The topics of the Conference were:
1. Theoretical approaches and study methods in current research and studies on Hellenistic pottery
2. From Sicily to broader Mediterranean: interpretative approaches to ceramic assemblages
3. Relationships between production centers in the Mediterranean basin: convergences and divergences
4. Using archaeometry to address historical questions starting from historical question
