Connected by Circles: Chronological Perspectives and Diffusion Patterns of Neolithic Enclosures in Central Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Circular enclosures are one of the hallmarks of the Central European Neolithic. Constructed to delimit specific areas, they were likely intended for communal activities, rituals, gatherings, or other purposes that channelled social interactions. The basic construction elements of ditches, trenches, and ramparts were shaped in various layouts that emerged in particular regions and periods of the Neolithic: palisade enclosures of late Linearbandkeramik, Middle Neolithic rondels, pseudo-ditch enclosures in Alsace, ditched enclosures of Münchshöfen culture in Bavaria, large causewayed enclosures of the Michelsberg and Funnel Beaker cultures, or ditch systems in Carpathian Basin to mention just some of them. Despite their formal differences, archaeologists engaged in research of these early monuments face the same challenges in studying their detailed temporal and diffusion patterns. Many fundamental questions remain unanswered, which prevents us from moving our research forward. The conference aims to gather researchers from various backgrounds but connected by interest in “circles” to discuss and share their approaches. We welcome scholars dealing with absolute dating, spatial analyses, experimental earthwork construction, and theoretical approaches to these questions that will help contextualise enclosures in their specific societies. Contributions may explore both local case studies as well as overarching supraregional perspectives.
