Clervaux (G­‐D de Luxembourg)
7 au 13 septembre 2015

Under the title “Religious places, cults and rituals in medieval rural environment” the XI. RURALIA conference will take place from September 7th-13th 2015 in Clervaux. The conference’s focus will be set on the relationship between the people and the religious sites where they practiced their beliefs (Christian, pagan, Jewish…). This also includes phenomena, traditions and practices which characterize the popular beliefs and burial rituals.

RURALIA is an international association for the archaeology of medieval settlement and rural life. It provides a European-wide platform for the scientific exchange on current problems in rural archeology in order to strengthen comparative and interdisciplinary studies. The conference covers the time from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern Period, so roughly the centuries from 500-1700 AD. The conference languages are English, French and German.

The conference is jointly organized by the Centre National de Recherche Archéologique (CNRA) and the University of Luxembourg (Uni.Lu), with the support of the Ministries of Culture and Tourism, the Fonds National de Recherche (FNR), Site et Monument Nationaux (SSMN), the city of Clervaux and the Pirmesfrënn of Kaundorf.
