The Assembly Project (TAP) - Meeting-places in Northern Europe AD 400-1500
TAP is an international collaborative project investigating the first systems of governance in Northern Europe.
Arkel's thing site, Uppland, Sweden
Ulvkel and Arnkel and Gye made this thing site (runic insciption, Arkel’s thingsite, c. 1025 AD)
The TAP team consists of a number of international scholars from Norway, Austria and the UK, who are carrying out a large scale study of the role of assemblies in the creation of collective identities and emergent kingdoms in Medieval Northern Europe (AD 400-1500).
The project was launched in June 2010 and will run for three years.
The Assembly Project is financially supported by the HERA Joint Research Programme (www.heranet.info) which is co-funded by AHRC, AKA, DASTI, ETF, FNR, FWF, HAZU, IRCHSS, MHEST, NWO, RANNIS, RCN, VR and The European Community FP7 2007-2013, under the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities programme.
