“Persons, Hierarchies and Urban Growth in Balkan Prehistory”

6:00pm to 7:00pm, Josephine Butler College, Durham University

Inaugural Lecture Series
Join Prof John Chapman as he delivers this inaugural lecture, focusing on three ways to deepen our understanding of past societies. The Neolithic and Copper Age of the Balkans (6500 – 4000 BC) represents a classic case of ‘Balkanisation’, with the rich material culture of the deep past parcelled up into a perpetually shifting mosaic of small groups modelled on modern nation-states.
