Power and Control over Metallurgy Production HMS AGM Summer Meeting |
|
Saturday 8th June 2019 | |
Reading Town Hall | |
Eleanor Blakelock |
This meeting will explore how metal production was controlled in different societies, in the UK and further afield. The plan is to explore control in a range of periods, including how the Roman military controlled iron production in the UK and beyond, the Anglo-Saxon elites control and use of precious metals in Anglo-Saxon workshops and even exploring Chinese control over iron production during the Warring States period.
The venue for the meeting is Reading, which had one of the richest monasteries with a royal connection and the museum has a display of finds from nearby Silchester. The meeting will be held in the Victorian Town Hall.
