On behalf of colleagues in Shanghai, I am searching for recommendations for a British (Maritime) Archaeologist whose work focuses on Mediterranean Archaeology yet relates to China (e.g. after the 2nd Century BCE to the end of the Qing Dynasty), and who may be interested in presenting at a conference in Shanghai, China on 15-18 December 2023.

The Conference organisers are very interested to explore current research on the connections between what’s now China and the Mediterranean world.

Whilst many Brits are working in the Med, we are specifically after those whose sites have Chinese material culture or definitively connect with what’s now China. So if you know, or are, someone working on a Mediterranean shipwreck (Ottoman, Roman, other?) with Chinese material in its assemblage, a Mediterranean port or harbour, the excavation of which has produced Chinese material (eg Berenike?), are studying Chinese boats in British museum collections, or are investigating other sites with evidence of maritime cultural exchange/contact, we’d love to hear from you.

The archaeologist has to be ethical, of high reputation, and work in accordance with the rules contained in the Annex to the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage. No treasure hunters. Suggestions, please.

Email sarah (at) sarahward.org for more! Many thanks.
