Appearance and modes of dress in Prehistory: theory and practice in the case of Barç tumulus

The second meeting of the group for the Archaeological Debate took place in the library of ICAA on November, 30th 2006. It was attended by many people, members of ICAA, IoA and University students.
The second presentation of the seminar series “Appearance and modes of dress in Prehistory: theory and practice in the case of Barç tumulus” was delivered by Rovena Kurti.

Kurti provided interesting ideas about the significance of the way of dress in a community, and the importance of accessories, providing a social interpretation for the Late Bronze Age, Early and Developed Iron Age. At the beginning of her speech she analyzed also the way accessories in general have been treated in studies until the early ‘90s in Albania.

Active discussions followed the presentation. Among others, Lorenc Bejko and Jamarber Buzo debated lively about issues presented in the lecture and other cases that they have treated in their own works.
Next meeting will be on December 14th.
