Of interest to those working in the Bronze Age?
First Announcement
International Conference
Cultural Mobility in Bronze Age Europe
June 6-9 2012
Aarhus – Denmark
During the Bronze Age societies became linked in new ways while at the same time regional traditions
were formed. Intense and dynamic relations between local and large-scale processes of change
coincided with increased mobility in different domains and forms. An influential factor in these processes
was the exploration of spatial restricted metallurgical sources of copper, tin and gold, and the connected
trade mechanisms that enabled bronze objects and associated technologies and ideas to become
widespread across Europe.
The aim of the conference is to nuance these propositions by debating new results in the broader field of
Bronze Age mobility and to identify the agenda for future scholarly inquiries.
The conference is marking the end of the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network Forging Identities –
http://www.forging-identities.com – and is organized in co-operation with the 12th Nordic Bronze Age
Symposium.
