A free-entry one-day colloquium exploring new research into past societies' conception of their future, and archaeology's interpretative challenge.
The power of hindsight in archaeology, exploring the succession of past material residues, is a documentation of actions and events that have already taken place at some point in the past. But how does this problematise our attempts to understand past conceptions of a possible future?
A full programme with abstracts and outline can be found at:
http://www.art.man.ac.uk/ARTHIST/maniac
The speakers from academic and professional institutions around the UK explore a range of themes including the construction of Neolithic tombs in Scotland and southern Britain, Bronze Age field systems on Dartmoor, Iron Age lunar cycles, medieval conceptions of time, and the challenges of archaeological interpretation in the modern age.
