THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE “ARCHAEOLOGY AND CONSERVATION ALONG THE SILK ROAD”
Abstract
In November 2018, the International Conference “Archaeology and Conservation along the Silk Road” was held for the third time at the city of Tabriz (East Azerbaijan, Iran). More than 80 scholars from Iran, China, Austria, Germany, and Russia brought to the conference 52 oral and poster presentations which cover a broad array of topics, including Islamic bridge-caravanserai in Iran, the collection of blue-white porcelain at the Ardebil Shrine, Sino-Iranian cultural contact in medeival period, early nomadic cultures in the Altai region, and the burial behaviors at Ephesos. Abstracts of the reports were published and distributed in print and electronic forms, along with other materials prepared by the organizers of the conference. This article highlights the contents of some presentations, and some results of the first two conferences held in 2014 and 2016 in China. The main purpose of these activities is to unite the efforts of archaeologists and conservators to preserve and promote cultural heritage, which has been found and is being studied and restored in the territory of the Great Silk Road in different countries of Eurasia. It is hoped that this multinational and multidisciplinary conference will be carried on in the future.
