Archaeological Leather Group
The Group normally meets twice a year. We usually organise one scholarly
meeting in the spring, and visit a museum, working tannery
or other place of leather interest in the autumn.
The Archaeological Leather Group Newsletter is published twice a year,
and we maintain a comprehensive and still expanding leather bibliography.
Publications from conference proceedings are produced on a regular basis:
Leather in Warfare: Attack, Defence and the Unexpected was published in 2017,
Why Leather? The Material and Cultural Dimensions of Leather was published in 2014,
Leather Tanneries: the Archaeological Evidence in 2011,
In the Saddle: an exploration of the saddle through history in 2004,
Leather Wet and Dry: Current Treatments in the Conservation
of Waterlogged and Desiccated Archaeological Leather in 2001 and
Leather and Fur:
Aspects of Early Medieval Trade and Technology in 1998.
