In the 11th and 12th century, a profound change took place in Europe. Christianisation spread to the far corners of the continent, kingdoms emerged and with them came literacy, bureaucracy – and national coinage. Medieval monetization processes have increasingly become the focus of numismatic research over recent years in many places. This workshop aims to bring researchers from different countries together and create an environment of exchange in order to share and create new knowledge, insights, and ideas.

Narratives of human sacrifice are fraught with colonial heritage in multiple ways, from the ways in which accusations of human sacrifice and cannibalism was used as a legitimating tool by colonialist powers to the Eurocentric frameworks of knowledge production which upholds traditional assumed meanings of acts interpreted as sacrifice. The workshop seeks to approach this complex topic from varied viewpoints and materials, to create an environment for open discussion about how we can decolonise the study of multifaceted forms of sanctioned violence and expressions thereof. We will discuss the influence of political and strategic desires to Other those to whom such practices were ascribed, and the residual effects of colonialist frameworks on current knowledge, along with other angles and questions.

Professor of Mesoamerican Archaeology at UCL Elisabeth Graham will give a lecture titled Killing people for gods…… the pastime of the Ancients?
