EPJ Plus Focus Point Issue: Advances in Analytical Techniques for Archaeological Potteries

Guest Editors: Simona Raneri, Remy Chapoulie, Florence Liard and Mohammadamin Emami

The Focus Point "Advances in Analytical Techniques for Archaeological Potteries" collects a selection of peer-reviewed papers originally presented at the 16th European Conference on Ancient Ceramics (EMAC, Pisa, June 2023), an occasion to dicuss the latest advances in the scientific analysis of archaeological potteries.

This biennial event fosters dialogue between scholars in the humanities and in the natural sciences. It explores a wide range of topics in a global perspective, with studies on ancient ceramics from China to South America that approach questions of production, use, and post-depositional alteration. This thematic collection aims to present original research that highlights recent advances in analytical techniques for the study of archaeological ceramics, with particular emphasis on methodological innovations, novel approaches, and scientific advances in the development of analytical techniques and protocols.

All articles are available here and are freely accessible until 31 October 2025. For further information, read the Editorial.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
