> The National Symposium of Archaeometry - 2010
http://www.romarchaeomet.ro/en/events/simpozion2010/first-announcement.html
BUCHAREST, 28th – 29th OCTOBER 2010
The symposium is organised by the National History Museum of Romania (MNIR) and

The symposium’s proceedings will be held at the Conference Hall of the National History Museum of Romania, 12 Calea Victoriei, Bucharest. On the occasion there will be celebrated the 30 years anniversary of Romanian archaeometric research employing the methods of atomic and nuclear physics.
The event will be also a forum for exchanging ideas and knowledge regarding the results of the archaeometric research in Romania, as well as to discus the future perspectives for the domain by considering the current scientific progress.
The scientific program of the symposium will comprise guest lectures, together with papers and posters sessions.
We are kindly asking you to disseminate this invitation among other colleagues of yours and persons interested in archaeometric researches.
The main topics to be addressed:
- Metallurgy, coins and adornments, ancient and medieval technologies
- The Dacian gold and silver in the European context
- New physical and chemical methods for compositional analyses
- Methods of dating – 14C (radiocarbon), (thermo)luminescence, dendrochronology
- Pottery, glass, lithic material – flint, obsidian
- Geoarchaeology – geological sources of row materials from prehistory to the Middle Age
- Archaeological amber of Romania – local sources and imports
- Conservation and restoration of the national cultural heritage
- Legal and juridical aspects regarding the protection of the cultural heritage

> Magic Amber. Amulets and jewelry from ancient Basilicata. In memoriam Dinu Adameşteanu
The Romanian National History Museum hosted a unique collection of jewelry pieces and miniature sculptures in amber, originated in Magna Graecia, from the cemeteries of the VIIIth-IVth centuries B. C., showing a hard to predict fastuous fashion, and beliefs - generally shared by many nations of the antiquity - about the magic and healing properties of amber. The impressive collection of objects that comes from southern Italy proves the age of the transeuropean commercial roads, in this case the Amber Road, which linked, since the second millennium B. C., the Baltic Sea coast to the Adriatic Sea coast, on a continental route over 1000 km, and from here, to the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, on the maritime routes the Phoenicians and Greek navigators.
The exhibition was dedicated to the romanian archaeologist Dinu Adamesteanu - the founder of the south-italic archeology and of the Italian National Archives of aerial photography.
The event was held under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, Religious Affairs and National Heritage, at the initiative of the Ministry of Cultural Goods and Activities of Italy - Archaeological Goods Administration, Basilicata region. To the organization have contributed the Italian Embassy in Bucharest, the Italian Cultural Institute "Vito Grasso" and the Public Relations and Informatics departments of the Romanian National History Museum.
On this occasion it was also publicly presented a part of the Romanit Consortium's activity, which runs, from September 2007, a national research project regarding the archaeological amber discovered in Romania, a project coordinated by the Romanian National History Museum. The mini-exhibition of the romanian researchers was organized with the support of the Geological Institute of Romania and the Institute of Archeology "V. Pârvan".
The exhibition was open between May 26th and June 24th, 2009.

Students' Archaeometry Group foundation
On the 22nd of November 2007 took place the constitutive meeting of the Students' Archaeometry Group, which has as main objective the dissemination of the project's results among the students from geology, but as well students from history, chemistry or biology. Thus the Group intends to create a fruitful collaboration between future researchers from these fields. During this first meeting, several lectures were presented:
- Dr. Bogdan Constantinescu (IFIN-HH), Introduction in Archaeometry;
- Lector. Dr. Antonela Neacşu, (FGGUB), Amber between magic and science;
- Dr. Eugen S. Teodor, ROMANIT Project - Edification opportunity of interdisciplinary reserach;
- Dnd. geologist Mihaela Cioacă, engineer geologist Monica Macovei - ROMANIT Lab; methods of data collecting (with regards to adornment objects with an archaeological origin).
The next meeting of the Students' Archaeometry Group will take place at the beginning of the second trimester of 2008.
