Multisensory archaeology focuses on sensory dimensions of archaeological sites, artifacts, and landscapes to reconstruct past human experiences. This workshop explores the potential of this approach for the study of palaces from the Bronze and Iron Age.

Multisensory archaeology is an interdisciplinary approach that seeks to reconstruct and interpret past human experiences by engaging with all the senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. This methodology focuses on the sensory dimensions of archaeological sites, artifacts, and landscapes, aiming to provide a more holistic understanding of the past.

The workshop is organised by current Senior Fellow Uroš Matić in cooperation with Constance von Rüden, Institute for Archaeological Studies of Ruhr University Bochum. It is open to scholars and students from the fields of archaeology, history, media studies, cultural studies and social sciences.
