The Winter School in archaeological conservation is a joint intensive program by Masaryk University (PANE, Center of Prehistoric Archaeology of the Near East) and CAMNES (Center for Ancient Mediterranean and Near Easter Studies). The School takes place during the month of January in Florence, Italy, and aims at introducing students to the restoration and conservation practices applied to archaeology. The program combines fundamental conservation techniques with hands-on lab work mainly focusing on ancient ceramic artifacts unearthed at the CAMNES excavation of the Etruscan Necropolis of Pratino in Tuscania and that of Sasso Pinzuto (Upper Latium).
