The Grave Goods project (funded by the AHRC) is pleased to announce a day conference on ‘Objects and death: on the trail of grave goods’ at the British Museum on Friday 31 May 2019. The conference will explore how people have confronted, explained and come to terms with death through objects across time and around the world.
Our exciting programme will touch on past, present and future societies. Speakers include artists, anthropologists, Egyptologists and archaeologists: Paul Pettitt (University of Durham), Richard Osgood (Ministry of Defence), Gaye Sculthorpe (British Museum), Lib Taylor and Lucy Jeffery (University of Reading), Helen Strudwick (Fitzwilliam Museum), Julie-Marie Strange (University of Manchester), and the artists Rob Heard and Julian Stair, along with the project team. The discussant is Dr Karina Croucher (University of Bradford, 'Continuing Bonds project').
The registration fee is £10 (£7.50 members/concessions), including coffee and tea. Further details and booking information can be found on the British Museum conference webpage:https://tinyurl.com/objectsdeathconf.
Best wishes,
The Grave Goods team
