History of EMAC

The history of the European Meeting on Ancient Ceramics as a conference series goes back to the early 1990s. Initially, the meeting focused on the Mediterranean region, but over time topics and scope of the conference have been greatly extended and today it is no longer restricted to European ceramics.

We provide here a list of previous meetings and links to proceedings.
