Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: thirty five years later
The symposium Craftsmen and Metalworking in Medieval Cities: 35 Years Later addresses the metallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited.

Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: 35 years later
In honour of Professor Paul Benoit
The symposium addresses themetallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited. The symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, promoting dialogue between historians, archaeologists and archaeometry, without excluding anthropological approaches to learning and knowledge

Creating clothing - the artisans, techniques and economy of clothing in the modern age
La journée d'étude « La fabrique de l’habit » propose de réfléchir à la production de vêtements et d’accessoires de mode à l'époque moderne, avant que le déclin puis la fin des communautés de métiers, l’apparition des grands magasins et l'essor de la confection ne marquent l'avènement d’un système productif nouveau au XIXe siècle. L’objectif de cette journée est de réunir autour de cette thématique jeunes chercheurs et chercheurs confirmés, archéologues, conservateurs, restaurateurs et praticiens du textile afin de dresser un état des lieux des apports de l’historiographie récente et des recherches menées actuellement au sein des universités, des musées et des laboratoires.

History and textile heritage in eastern France, Antiquity to the present day
Objet utilitaire mais également d’apparat, le textile se caractérise par l’ancienneté de sa mise au point, la persistance de sa production, la place sans cesse renouvelée qu’il occupe dans nos sociétés successives. Cette activité économique a fortement et anciennement marqué certains territoires, particulièrement en France qui est, au début du XXe siècle, le 2e producteur mondial. La tradition textile est forte dans les trois territoires qui composent la nouvelle région Grand Est comme le rappellent lieux de médiations d’une part et entreprises industrielles d’autre part. En 2017, le colloque annuel du Comité d’histoire régionale, service de la Région Grand Est, réunira donc des spécialistes de différentes disciplines (histoire, archéologie, histoire de l’art, géographie, droit, sociologie, économie, histoire des techniques, etc.) et d’acteurs actuels du monde du textile pour traiter de ce thème.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Precious metals in the medieval Mediterranean
Mining, processing and circulations
Silver on one side, gold on the other? The medieval Mediterranean was an area in which precious metals were produced and circulated, intertwining three worlds, both friends and foes: Roman Christianity to the West, byzantine Christianity to the East, and Islam to the South. Precious metals (gold, silver, copper and lead), at the origin of numerous objects of the material culture and currencies used by the economies, filled the societies. They were mined, processed, commercialised, controlled and hoarded by a wide variety of stakeholders and institutions, from simple peasants to emperors.

Study days - Prehistory and Antiquity
Artisanal spaces and places of worship in Antiquity
Trois axes seront plus particulièrement développés au cours de cette journée : la « fabrique du temple » (entendue au sens de la construction, du décor, et de l’entretien de l’édifice de culte) ; la production des offrandes, sur place ou spécifiquement destinée au sanctuaire ; enfin, parce que les espaces cultuels ne se restreignent pas au temple et à ses annexes, on a voulu aussi inclure dans le panorama qui sera présenté deux types d’espaces privés qui n’en abritent pas moins des rites périodiques : la maison et la boutique d’une part ; les nécropoles d’autre part. Les communications porteront sur les mondes grec, romain et leurs périphéries, de l’époque archaïque à l’époque impériale.
