The Finnish Society for the History of Science and Learning VIII Jaakko
The Finnish Society for the History of Science and Learning VIII Jaakko Suolahti lecture 31.3.2016, Säätytalo Opening Speech: Cecilia af Forselles Members of the Society, Ladies and gentlemen! The fact that the Society is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary gives this occasion a special meaning. We are celebrating not only the Society’s history but also that the interest for the History of Science has an important role in the scientific world – at least that is, I presume, the way we want to think of this. In today’s scientific atmosphere where specialization is key and research is developed to a level where scholars seldom are familiar with the history of their own field or knowledge of trends and paradigms in the development of science at large, a small society as ours have an important task to fulfil. The history of science also represent the memory of science, why and how human knowledge about things has developed, and therefore it provides a key to the understanding of how science works and develops. Today I am happy to specially welcome our VIIIth Jaakko Suolahti lecturer professor Hasok Chang who has written very interestingly about “the progressive saga of scientific development”, just to borrow some of his brilliant formulations. Due to the Society’s 50th anniversary I think it appropriate to briefly recall what happened 50 years ago. The Society was founded by several prominent researchers, like the professor in History at the University of Helsinki, Jaakko Suolahti(1918 - 1987), and the Philosopher Georg Henrik von Wright(1916-2003), at the present remembered with an excellent exhibition at the National Library, as we celebrate his 100th anniversary. -

Despite ceramic roof tiles being one of the most frequent finds from archaeological excavations and surveys of this period from the Mediterranean area, they have not received much interest in research. In particular, the study of plain, undecorated, or unstamped tiles has been extremely limited considering the volume of material found. -
