1) The Qualities of Materials
• What are the characteristics and
potentials of each material?
• How did the innate qualities of
each material inspire, guide and
restrict the production of
objects?
• What specific decisions were
required to work with them?

Museum of Denmark. Kaul 1998, cat. No.243

2) Motifs and Skills
• What motifs are employed?
• How is skill developed and
expressed in the creation of
motifs?
• How do motifs and skills cross
between the materials, both in
terms of technical relationships
and influences through the
transfer of knowledge and
ideas?
Bird motifs 1) Central European Fibula. Metropolitan Museum of Art 2) Chariot pole
terminal from Zsujta. British Museum 3) Wagon fittings. Landesmuseum Stuttgart 4) Bird
vessels. Aquincum Museum 5) Bird vessel. Hungarian National Museum

3) Spatial and Temporal Trends
• How did the practice of each
craft develop locally?
• How did changes in one region
inspire imitations and
developments elsewhere?

4) The Perception of Prehistoric Craft Today
• How do different contemporary groups respond to the creativity embedded in prehistoric objects?
• How do modern craftspeople engage with such objects, interpret the decision-making processes required to make them, and use them as the basis for their own creativity?
• For the public, does participating in the reproduction of prehistoric objects inspire people to think about how things are made and challenge their understanding of creativity?
• How does the classification of an object as a souvenir affect its understanding?

Creating the Consortium
• What does the research need (materials,
expertise)?
• Create a balanced consortium (research,
previous international experience, age,
gender)
• Understand the risks (known vs unknown)
• Like your partners!
![Page 13: HERA - Creativity and Craft Production in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe (CinBA)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062615/5482dec75806b5d4048b4719/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Collaboration During Proposal
Preparation
•Talk to the partners!
![Page 14: HERA - Creativity and Craft Production in Middle and Late Bronze Age Europe (CinBA)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062615/5482dec75806b5d4048b4719/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Generating International Added
Value For CinBA this arises through:
•Unique combination of pooled European
expertise in fields (archaeology, heritage,
craft) that are frequently highly national
•Comparative perspective
•Thematic approach
•Geographical scope: local, regional and
transnational scales

Knowledge Transfer
•Embedded within CinBA research
Example: Research focus on the role that the
prehistoric past can play in offering inspiration to
contemporary craftspeople.

Unexpected stuff
• Finance is complicated at the beginning.
Use your contact points and understand
your partners’ national rules
• Reporting is substantial
But on the plus side
• Research has done so much more and has
had unexpected reverberations in ways that
we could not have predicted
