Organised within the framework of the FEDE project “Dividing space in early medieval Iberia (AD700-1035): Forms, scales and actors” (HAR2016-76094-C4-3-R), this workshop aims to bring together a group of specialists in different European spaces (Iberian Peninsula, Great Britain, Germany) in order to discuss the problems around defining and delimiting space in the Early Middle Ages.

Contrasting documental and archaeological perspectives, the workshop seeks to reflect on the different forms of spatial demarcation with special attention to the language of texts, the materiality of archaeological testimonies and the social practices underlying both types of sources.

The workshop will take place on 24th April at 9:15am, in Auditorium 1 (Tower B) of NOVA FCSH, with free entrance.
