Megaliths, Societies, Landscapes : Early Monumentality and Social Diferentiation in Neolithic Europe
The DFG Priority Program 1400 "Early Monumentality and Social Diferentiation: On the origin and development of Neolithic large-scale buildings and the emergence of early complex societies in Northern Central Europe" started its work in July 2009. Its research agenda focuses on the investigation of the phenomenon of monumental structures, in particular on megalithic constructions and their social and economic backgrounds during the Neolithic with a focus on Northern Central Europe. The program also incorporates a wider European perspective.
In total, 22 university departments, research institutes and heritage management ofices in 16 partial projects investigate the Neolithic on the Northern European Plain with respect to a complex topic: How can the relationship between monumental buildings, social structures and developments ater the emergence of sedentism at 4100 cal BC be characterized?
The aim of the conference is to gather experts in research on megalithic and monumental structures and the societies that built them to communicate and discuss the results of the Priority Programme on an international level. Therefore, we have invited scientists from all over Europe to participate in order to improve our knowledge about the early prehistoric monuments and their backgrounds in Northern and Western Europe.
