Presentations address aspects of mining and transport technologies, regional variations, stonemason\u2019s activities, aspects of aesthetics and surface decoration, the function of stones, building technologies and communities in the empire, as well as aspects of the rich history of modern research on stones and new technologies. This includes geological, art historical, archaeological, and epigraphical approaches as well as approaches that include archaeometry analysis and conservation studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"916\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/?attachment_id=916\" class=\"wp-image-916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-750x1061.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/archaeology-in-eurasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/Program-1-scaled.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">[Attribution: Program; Copyright: RICHT and DAI Teheran] <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are interested to learn more about the program and to participate in the symposium can register via this email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/webmail.dainst.de\/src\/compose.php?send_to=zohreh.zehbari%40gmail.com\">zohreh.zehbari@gmail.com<\/a>&gt;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers: DAI Eurasien-Abteilung, Au\u00dfenstelle Teheran in cooperation with the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT).
