The project Putting Life into Late Neolithic Houses: investigating domestic craft and subsistence activities through experiments and material analysis is coming to a closure after 5 years of collaborative research by a team of archaeological specialists, craftspeople and open-air public centres. The project intended to re-evaluate the wetland sites of the late Neolithic Vlaardingen culture, using new methods of analysis, experiments and public participation to elucidate daily life in the Rhine/Meuse delta during the Late Neolithic.
To celebrate, we are organising a day of lectures in which the results of the project will be presented and discussed by team members and invited speakers. The symposium will be hybrid and will allow circa 80 people to attend in person. Coffee and tea, as well as drinks afterwards will be provided.
We kindly invite you to contact m.siebrecht@exarc.net if you would like to attend, indicating whether you would like to attend in person or online. Please do so before February 25.
