Red Sea VIII Conference: Coveted Treasure. The economy of natural resources: extraction, processing
Ten years after the Red Sea III conference: "Natural Resources and Cultural Connections of the Red Sea", held at the British Museum on 27–28 October 2006, enough new data has been made available to warrant another in-depth look at the archaeology of natural resources extraction and processing (mines, workshops, etc.)
The main themes of the conference are:
economic significance of commerce in natural resources passing through the Red Sea
intermediaries in the natural resources trade (“Who dun’it”)
other archaeological categories coexistent with the natural resources trade (pottery, glass etc.)
language/epigraphy: terms for natural resources: mining and processing/crafts work
ethnoarchaeological evidence for exploitation and processing of natural resource
