AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
The Conference aims at promoting a wide-ranging discussion of the evolving perspectives
on human deposition and burial in the European Bronze Age. Violence, warfare, sacrality
and power are intended as relevant correlates of the former. Particular interest is put on
quantitative and formal logical approaches.
The complexity of the argument, quickly evolving in the research, will be addressed by
spotlighting. It is hoped to stimulate the participants to discuss the roots of their
approach to the archaeological record of the dead.
