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.
