Intensions and Meaning: A comparative view of Late Antique Hilltop sites in Europe

International Workshop in Ljubljana

The workshop is the opening event of the scientific accomapnying program of the planned international exhibition on Late Antique Hilltop settlements in Europe. It will deal with the origin, type and duration of settlement and the significance of these sites. Questions concerning the definition of hilltop settlements and the political, social and economic conditions that led to their emergence are particularly relevant. How can we define this type of settlement? What are the characteristic topographical and architectural elements of hilltop settlements? Who decided and was responsible for their planning, construction and financing?

These issues have fuelled research discussions and are part of the overarching questions that the workshop addresses. In particular, it is important to critically evaluate the models prevailed in the past, which depend, among other things, on the data available. The comparison of national research tradition is also relevant, as is the analysis of influence of such interpretive approaches. Following a regional division of the papers from Western Europe over the Alps to Balkan Peninsula, we will determine the temporal an spatial scale of the settlements and discuss comparative perspectives for further research.

The National Museum of Slovenia is the oldest museum in Slovenia: in 2021 it will celebrate its 200th anniversary. The National Museum of Slovenia is located in a neo-Renaissance palace built according to designs by Viljem Treo and was opened to the public in 1888. The museum's history dates back to 1821, to the founding of its predecessor, the Provincial Museum of Carniola. Today it houses rich collections of valuable objects: archaeological, numismatic and graphic collection. Important pillars of the museum's activity are also research, the rich museum library and the department of conservation and restoration.
