Europe Old and New

The cultural changes at the break of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age in Central and Eastern Europe

Dear colleagues!

We would like to invite you to the conference "Europe Old and New, The cultural changes at the break of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age in Central and Eastern Europe". The conference is organized by the Silesian Museum, together with the Museum in Botoșani (Romania). Last year, unfortunately, it was not possible to hold the conference due to the floods that affected (not only) our region. We would therefore like to organize the conference this year.

The theme of the conference is the archaeological manifestations of cultural transformations at the turn of the Eneolithic and the older Bronze Age in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly related to the Corded Ware culture, the Globular Amphora culture and the Pit Grave (Yamnaya) culture, etc.

We would like our conference to become a discussion platform for researchers working on the topic within long-term projects, as well as for archaeologists who have encountered or are encountering these issues in the field. Both purely archaeological and interdisciplinary papers are welcome.

The deadline for applications is 30th April 2025.
