Il periodo compreso tra la tarda Antichità e l’alto Medioevo fu segnato da profonde trasformazioni che investirono ogni ambito della sfera sociale e culturale, ivi compresa quella funeraria. La diffusione del cristianesimo e l’arrivo di nuovi popoli sulla scena europea e mediterranea determinarono l’affermazione di inedite forme di autorappresentazione dei defunti e dei loro gruppi familiari, prime tra tutte l’uso della deposizione ad sanctos e delle sepolture con ricco corredo. A quasi quarant’anni dallo storico incontro di Créteil L’inhumation privilégiée du IVe au VIIIe siècle en Occident, il convegno di Pella si è voluto proporre come una rinnovata occasione di dibattito sugli usi sepolcrali delle popolazioni del mondo tardo e postromano, cercando di offrire una visione il più ampia possibile, in senso geografico e cronologico, dei fenomeni che investirono la sfera funeraria tra il IV e il IX secolo. I testi dei contributi e dei poster raccolti in questi due volumi intendono, dunque, apportare nuovi spunti di riflessione riguardo a uno dei temi più vivacemente dibattuti dall’archeologia e dalla storiografia degli ultimi anni.

The nEU-Med project is part of the Horizon 2020 programme, in the ERC Advanced project category. It began in October 2015 and will be concluded in October 2020.

It aims to document and analyze the form and timeframe of economic growth in this part of the Mediterranean, which took place between the 7th and the 12thc. Central to this is an understanding of the processes of change in human settlements, in the natural and farming landscapes in relation to the exploitation of resources, and i...
