Prehistory in the Netherlands has left little complete or tangible archaeological material. Often it is about some stains in the ground, or a handful of flint turns. The translation of this abstract archaeological material into a striking story therefore carries a lot of "free space" with it. This means that the image makers bear a great responsibility. But ... how do those image makers come to their interpretations and representations of this past? And how do they try to convey this to society in a responsible manner? During this symposium we will examine these questions from different perspectives.
This event is organized by the student initiative Experimental Archeology Groningen in collaboration with the Hunebedcentrum as part of the 100th anniversary of the Groningen Institute of Archeology and as a result of a new mesolithic reconstruction that will be built next year at the hunebedcentrum.
Entrance fee: €10, students €5
