The contributions primarily deal with the material culture of goldsmiths’ works, such as crosses, reliquary caskets, jewellery, enamel works, and precious stones, spanning the wide geographical area of Byzantium and many of its neighbours, from Russia via Trebizond and Serbia to Crete. Furthermore, written sources on Byzantine goldsmiths, their craft and the provenance of precious metals provide evidence for goldsmithing in Byzantium throughout its history.

Its aim is the interdisciplinary study of primarily civil harbours as highly complex systems in which ecological, logistical, economic, social, legal, military and religious subsystems overlap and influence each other. In order to evaluate the full extent and depth of the phenomenon 'harbour', these subsystems and their implications for the development of the settlements must be identified. The 15 interdisciplinary projects of the programme are working on a comparative analysis allowing harbours to be understood as system-relevant components. The results of the last conference 2015 in Kiel were published this year under the title:
Claus von Carnap-Bornheim, Falko Daim, Peter Ettel, Ursula Warnke (Hrsg.), Harbours as Objects of Interdisciplinary Research – Archaeology + History + Geosciences (RGZM – Tagungen, Band 34) Mainz 2018.
We are now at the end of the overall six-year grant period and therefore will hold an international conference at which we will discuss the final results. The conference is in cooperation with the Römisch Germanisches Zentralmuseum and the Museum für Antike Schiffahrt in Mainz. It is titled “Harbours in Space and Time” and will be held from the 1st to the 2nd of October 2018 at the Erbacher Hof, Mainz.

The period from 1211 to 1669, when the island was under the rule of the Venetians, allows insights into a multifaceted and complex society. Within this unique artistic and cultural landscape, the works of the late Byzantine church painter Theodor Daniel and his nephew Michael Veneris particularly stand out. The present publication devotes itself for the first time to an in-depth and wide-ranging investigation of their works. Beside the identification and attribution of their unsigned works, analyses accruing from this form key aspects. The most important step for the aims expressed is provided by the systematic attribution of the pair’s works. This and the assignment of the unsigned works are found in the first part of the publication. In the second part the interconnections of Theodor Daniel and Michael Veneris with other Cretan artists is discussed. Beside contacts with Ioannes Pagomenos, probably the most prominent Cretan church painter of the 14th century, there is a further series of indications that suggest that there existed a regular network among the artists on the island.
