Ancient Architectural Repairs in the Greek World

This workshop brings together experts from different backgrounds in order to address general and specific issues related to the repairing and restoring of buildings in Ancient Greece. Ancient repairs have increasingly attracted the attention of scholars over the past two decades, but this interest has been mostly confined to moveable objects. While the study of ancient architectural repairs has recently developed in Roman contexts, the Greek world has been somewhat left behind. Therefore, the purpose of the workshop is to assess the importance of this new field for the understanding of ancient Greek construction, with an emphasis on cross-disciplinary approaches. Technical and institutional aspects, as well as methodological issues, will be addressed.
