The phrase ‘Bronze Age’ is often seen as ushering in an era of ‘social complexity’ in world history. The aim of the conference is to encourage dialogue on the topic of Bronze Age civilizations from Asia, Africa, and Europe, discussing common issues of emergence, transformation, and evolution of Bronze Age cultures. It also aims to problematize the term ‘Bronze Age’ in light of recent discoveries and theoretical approaches in the scholarship, including but not limited to archaeological, anthropological, and textual approaches.
