Museum of Archaeology, University of Stavanger, cordially invite Bronze Age researchers to the 16th Nordic Bronze Age symposium to be held in Stavanger, June 11-13th 2025.
In the Bronze Age, the southwestern shores of the Atlantic façade were meeting places between seafaring peoples, indigenous groups and material culture. Then, as now, mobility created meetings of minds and ideas, other-than-human beings, materials and genes. Some made their farewells and others were welcomed.
Strange shores
The shores were starting points and destinations – Bronze Age peoples were keen to seek beyond the horizon. Travel was not bound to this life, also the dead were buried in large cairns that overlooked the ocean. Mythological entities bound to the circle of day and night, life and death, pervaded beliefs and shaped realities. The strange and the uncanny were integrated into Bronze Age societies.
