Français English

The first edition of conferences dedicated to stone economics during the historical periods, which was held in Nancy in 2015, underlined the vitality of the research carried out about this subject, as illustrated by the recent works led in Lorraine. The Stone by Stone series of meetings aim to promote the relevance of stone economics research and to facilitate discussions about the topic, through a cycle of international conferences held every three years. The upcoming Stone by Stone II Symposium will be held in Namur and Dinant in December 2018. It will be co-organized by the University of Namur (AcanthuM – ILEE), by the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL), by the University of Brussels (ULB/VUB), by the University of Lorraine, by the INRAP and by the Maison du Patrimoine medieval mosan, and by the AWAP (Agence wallonne du Patrimoine).

Presentation

The symposium reflections will focus on the Meuse valley, famous for its lithic resources, and whose Lower and Middle sections have contributed in establishing the valley as a major economic artery within the Western European region since the Antiquity. The symposium’s scope will then expand to related investigations carried out in adjacent regions, such as the areas of Brabant, of Hainaut, of Ardennes, of Lorraine, of Rhineland, of Utrecht, of Gelderland, amongst others.

Stone by Stone II topics will mainly focus on three main themes: Stone Geography (theme 1), Stone on the Construction Site (theme 2), and Stone as Lapidary Furniture or Decorative Element (theme 3).

Venue: University of Namur (6-7/12); Dinant (8/12)
