Expressions, Practices, Representations – From Production to Exchange
The study of inscriptions, cultural practices, and archaeological artifacts from excavations and surveys is inseparable from the study of sites and paves the way for a better understanding of the intellectual and material life of past civilizations.
This research is a key element for understanding exchanges and their geographical expansion, ideas and artistic movements, and contributes both to the definition of regional cultural identities and to major interregional trends.
The places and methods of manufacturing objects, their circulation, the chronological phases they reveal, and the cultural connections they uncover are essential links for a more comprehensive understanding of historical issues. This theme is fully part of Axis 4 of ArScAn, from which it partly takes its title, as well as Axis 3.
