"Idiomatic and Mainstream: The Technical Vocabulary of a Late Roman Crossbow Fibula"
Pete Dandridge
Pete Dandridge came to the Museum in 1979 from the Cooperstown Graduate Program. Initially focusing on the Rockefeller Collection, he became the principal conservator of the ivories, enamels, and metalwork in the Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters, where his primary interest has been to elucidate the technical history of said materials and the capabilities of the artists who manipulated them. He is coediting Medieval Copper, Bronze and Brass with Nicolas Thomas, and is participating in CAST:ING, an international initiative to create an online publication of best practices for documenting the technical history of bronze casting.
