Next Friday, 6 September 2013, we will be running a very special session at the 19th<\/sup> Annual Meeting of the EAA in Pilsen (Czech Republic), a session dedicated to the lives of prehistoric monuments in Iron Age, Roman and Medieval Europe. Leading scholars in the field will be gathered to present the outstanding biographies of some megalithic monuments, stelae, statue-menhirs and rock art sites in various European and Mediterranean regions. These monuments include Jelling (Denmark), Tara (Ireland), Avebury (United Kingdom), the statue-menhirs of Guernsey, the standing stones and megalithic monuments of Brittany (France), the dolmens of Santa Cruz and Menga (Spain), and the rock art sites of Valcamonica (Italy). At least three of these sites (Jelling, Tara and Santa Cruz), thought built in the Neolithic period, were later used for the coronation of local kings in the first millennium AD.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are attending the meeting, come to our session! You will find the details <\/span>below.<\/p>\n

Session abstract:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some Prehistoric stone monuments accrued complex life-histories that spanned over millennia. Their \u2018aura\u2019 and material properties, namely, their large scale and durability, fostered their involvement in complex historical settings in which competing \u2018world views\u2019, cultural traditions and identities transformed them in places of special significance. In these contexts, prehistoric monuments have played active roles in the institutionalization, contestation and negotiation of memories, ideologies, values and power relations. This session seeks to explore the role of prehistoric monuments in these processes of cultural and social production (i.e. hybridization, resistance, assimilation) through the adoption of a biographical approach.\u00a0 <\/span>In particular, through the examination of the biographies of selected paradigmatic megalithic monuments, stelae and statue-menhirs, and Rock Art sites in various regions of Europe, this session will be aimed at examining the role played by some prehistoric monuments in the unfolding of the complex social processes that lie behind traditional concepts such as \u2018Orientalization\u2019, \u2018Romanization\u2019 or \u2018Christianisation\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, I have also been based in Archaeology at the University of Southampton, first as a visiting post-doctoral researcher with the Archaeological Computing Research Group, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education (2011-2013), and then as a part-time lecturer (2013-2014). I obtained my BA (Licenciatura), MA (Grado) and PhD (Extraordinary Doctoral Award, 2009\/2010) in Prehistoric Archaeology from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), and specialise in the archaeology of the Neolithic, Copper and Bronze Age periods in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in relation to the study of rock art, sculpture, mortuary practices, monumentality and landscape. During my PhD I carried out research stays at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universit\u00e4t (Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany) and at the University of California, Berkeley (United States).
