Conference review: Ceramic Petrology Group Meeting 2019

The annual meeting of the Ceramic Petrology Group (CPG) was organised by the Fitch Laboratory, The British School at Athens, on the 8^th and 9^th November 2019. The CPG was initially set up to provide a platform for researchers to discuss their findings and interpretation of petrographic analysis. Since then, the group has expanded to promote the use of other analytical methods in archaeological ceramics and related materials. The spirit of this group is truly reflected in this year’s meeting. The two-day meeting comprised 14 oral presentations, six poster presentations, a lab tour, and a microscope section. The presentations covered a wide range of analytical methods and case studies deriving from broad geographic and temporal contexts. What made this meeting particularly special is its rather relaxed and friendly environment, which had encouraged Masters and PhD students to present their research and generate constructive feedback to their ongoing research.

For those of you who are interested in participating, the next CPG meeting will be held at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge, on the 6^th and 7^th November 2020.
