International Colloquium Archaeology in Contemporary Europe – ACE The Significance of the Past
The very beginning of Europe? Cultural and Social Dimensions of Early-Medieval Migration and Colonisation (5th-8th Century
Brussels - May 17-19 2011)


As a co-organising partner of the European ACE project which aims to promote archaeology in contemporary Europe, the Flemish Heritage Institute (VIOE, Scientific Institute of the Flemish Government, Brussels, Belgium) is organising an international colloquium on the Early Middle Ages within the ACE-theme ‘The Significance of the past’. The focus will be on the issues of social and identity construction, and phenomena such as migration, settlement, ethnicity, acculturation, land use and landscape, as well as the formation of cultural and political identities in the past.
This colloquium is the result of research and exchange carried out within the framework of the ACE project - ‘Archaeology in contemporary Europe’, with the support of the European Union (Culture 2007-2013 programme).
