Artifacts of a Life – A New Twist on the A&S Event

September 9, 2013 by East Kingdom Gazette

Artifacts of a Life, a new type of Arts & Sciences event that is jointly sponsored by The Barony Beyond the Mountain and the Barony of Carolingia, is coming on September 21!

The event centers around display of artifacts that could have been left behind by a plausible historic persona — it does not have to be your SCA persona. The goal is to be able to look at these as a whole for what they reveal about the material culture of that persona’s time, place, and social context.

Because this is a new way of looking at Arts & Sciences, there is an additional page of information to help both judges and entrants prepare, that can be found here: http://sca-artifactschallenge.blogspot.com/p/prospective-judges-and-entrants.html
