2012 meeting of the European Megalithic Studies Group, 10-12 May, Rennes by Andy B on Friday, 30 March 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
The European Megalithic Studies Group is an informal and inclusive group, with no fixed membership, intended to bring together all those interested in early monumentality along the western and northern margins of Europe.

The IVth meeting of an international workgroup will gather together, in Rennes, from 10 to 12 May 2012, several of the leading European specialists on the theme of megalithic monuments (about twenty speakers from some ten different nationalities). Following the international colloquium at Bougon (Deux-Sèvres) which was held in 2002 (Joussaume, Laporte, Scarre, 2006), meetings of the European Megalithic Studies Group took place in Göteborg in Sweden ( 2004 ), in Seville in Spain ( 2008 ) and in Kiel in Germany ( 2010 ).

The European Megalithic Studies Group takes its origin from discussions between Chris Scarre (Durham University) and Kristian Kristiansen (Göteborg university) in 2003. It was clear that one of the greatest obstacles to a better understanding of early prehistoric monuments in northern and western Europe was the fragmentation of research between different national teams and traditions. It was agreed that an informal group holding occasional meetings would be a useful mechanism to bring together researchers from different countries.

The proceedings of the second meeting at Seville are approaching publication. Those of the Kiel meeting have appeared in stages on the website http://www.jungsteinsite.de and are also published in conventional printed format.

Theme of the IV meeting

The study of megalithic architectures focused for many years on the funerary space, but it enquiry has subsequently extended to the entirety of the monumental structure and to its placement within its physical, temporal and human setting. In the light of new information acquired over the past 20 years it is perhaps timely to revisit notion of the architectural project. In analyzing the intentions that can be attributed to the Neolithic builders we must consider what evidence is available to be drawn from the construction process, and therefore from the building site. We have also to ask what can learned from the evidence of constructional sequences, and from the additions and modifications through which each generation reappropriated the unique significance of the specific site.

This will be the first time for more than thirty years that the city of Rennes will welcome a high-level scientific meeting specifically dedicated to the study of megalithic monuments. It is organized within the framework of a program entitled "Megalithic monuments of the Atlantic zone and beyond" which is supported in particular by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme de Bretagne. It will comprise two days of oral communications, open to the general public, in the Auditorium of the Museum of Brittany, in Rennes. They will be accompanied by the presentation of posters about current work on megalithic monuments in France, in Europe and in the World.

These "primitive" architectures may appear to be the outcome of a construction project as rudimentary, and a construction process as opportunistic, as the large slabs that they employed. That is clearly not the case, but to what extent? Each building project was unique, and details study can assess the architectural function or the manipulation of each element, and the reuse, secondary reworking and other successive modifications to which they were subjected. Along with the manner in which the materials were used, this reveals a store of knowledge that sometimes differed considerably from one structure to another, even between those of the same period within a single region.

Reconstructing the building processes allows a better understanding, first, of the nature of theses architectural projects, and second , of the purposes and uses for which they were intended. We also have the opportunity to review evidence for the transport and erection of the materi
