The Heritage of Displacement:
Forced Migration in the Mediterranean through History
Saturday, 14 May, 2016
McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge
Throughout history mass movements of people have created heritage, at the time and retrospectively. Sites left behind are reused or fall into ruin, objects are taken on journeys, cultural practices are introduced to new environments, and, sometimes, return journeys are attempted. This movement generates countless stories and leaves a ‘trail of crumbs’ of both tangible and intangible heritage.
