Ten-day Cyprus symposium and fair on ancient crafts, October 2027, invites contributors by 15 November

The International Symposium and Fair of History and Archaeology, planned for Cyprus on 8–18 October 2027, is inviting expressions of interest until 15 November 2026, according to the call published by EXARC, the experimental archaeology network. The call addresses researchers, experimental archaeologists, craftspeople, artists, museum staff and practitioners of ancient technologies, and says those selected may have their travel, accommodation, local transport, meals and materials covered.

The organisers ask for no form. Applicants send a short note introducing themselves and saying how they would like to take part, with links, photographs or samples of their work. Expressions of interest and questions go to perfumerythemeparckcy@gmail.com, the address as the call prints it.

The call names the Cyprus Perfumery Theme Park as organiser, working with the Solea Communities Complex with the President of Cyprus as patron, and the University of Nicosia as academic partner. It describes ten days of scientific papers, experimental archaeology, live demonstrations, workshops, teaching and public events, with one day of papers at the university.

The call sets the period range from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic through the Bronze Age to the Cypro-Geometric and Cypro-Archaic periods. Its subject is how things were made: working stone, bone, antler and leather, metallurgy, ceramics, textiles, tools and weapons, and experimental reconstruction.
