Closing Symposium: Late Neolithic Houses Project – 13 March, Leiden, Netherlands
After five years of collaborative research, the project “Putting Life into Late Neolithic Houses: investigating domestic craft and subsistence activities through experiments and material analysis” is coming to a close. This project brought together archaeological specialists, craftspeople, and open-air public centres to re-evaluate the wetland sites of the Late Neolithic Vlaardingen culture. By combining experimental archaeology, material analysis, and public participation, the team has shed new light on daily life in the Rhine/Meuse delta during the Late Neolithic.
To celebrate the project’s results, a day of lectures and discussions will be held on 13 March, featuring contributions from project team members and invited speakers. The symposium will be hybrid, accommodating around 80 participants in person at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, with coffee, tea, and drinks provided.
EXARC members and friends of the project are warmly invited to attend. To join in person or online, please contact m.siebrecht@exarc.net by 25 February.
