20 - 26 octobre 2008, Palermo, Italy: 10th international conference of the International Committee for Conservation of Mosaïc (ICCM)
It aims to stress how through a systematic and full documentation during the process of conservation, one has the occasion to make observations that deepen one’s understanding of a mosaic, the technique or techniques involved in its execution, the archaeological context in which it was found and the historical vicissitudes it has experienced.
Three sub-themes address issues that are very much on the frontline today: a/the cost of maintenance of mosaics conserved in situ; b/ the large-scale projects of mosaic and site conservation; and c/ the training of mosaic conservators. It is also planned to organize two round-tables on related issues during the conference.
