On behalf of my colleague, Antonella Coralini of the University of Bologna, I am posting the call for papers for the international conference “Picta Fragmenta. Rereading Vesuvian Painting", to be held at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, Italy, September 13-14, 2018. With a focus on the critical rereading of wall painting in the Vesuvian region, the conference aims to offer an opportunity for researchers and professionals to meet and exchange information through presentations on best practices, reviews of past research, and new research. This interdisciplinary framework will contribute to the knowledge of art-historical investigation, archaeometry and archaeography, conservation, and communication. Oral presentations and posters will be accepted on the following themes: Reinterpretation; New discoveries; Archaeometries and archaeology of production; Conservation and enhancement; Publications and communication.
