Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The University of Warsaw will be hosting a hybrid workshop on textile imprints on December 8 - please find attached the programme. 

The workshop is titled "Towards Establishing Best Practices in Documenting Textile Imprints on Clay" and is organised as part of the  ExplorTIC Project. It aims to advance documentation procedures and research protocols for textile imprints on clay (https://explortic.uw.edu.pl/post-lecture/towards-establishing-best-practices-in-documenting-textile-imprints-on-clay-a-hands-on-workshop-in-warsaw-by-the-explortic-project/).
"During the workshop, we will work towards formulating best practices for the study of imprints, taking into account their specific characteristics (fragility, high three-dimensionality, alterations caused by pressure, challenges in identifying raw materials and production techniques, etc.), as well as issues related to digital documentation (3D scanning, photogrammetry, RTI). A hands-on session will offer an overview of techniques for making modern casts and impressions directly from archaeological textile imprints on clay, and will support the formulation of a decision-making strategy for taking positive imprints."

All the best,
Katrin Kania
