A seminar titled Protohistory Seminar in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes No. 7 is set to occur on April 2, 2027, focusing on the Final Bronze 3b period, a specific phase at the end of the Bronze Age in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. This event is part of a series, following similar seminars held in 2019 and 2023 that explored the Bronze and Iron Ages in the area. The seminar will delve into the final stages of the Bronze Age, a time when historical records and archaeological evidence vary significantly across different regions. Researchers will examine the origins of the Final Bronze 3b, the shift from the earlier Final Bronze 3a phase to the Final Bronze 3b, and the transition from the Final Bronze 3b to the Early Iron Age. The event will cover various topics, including the defining features of the Final Bronze 3b period, the possible distinct regional variations known as "faciès," and the idea of a unified cultural entity called the "Median France entity," proposed by archaeologist Isabelle Kerouanton. These discussions aim to clarify how and when the Bronze Age gave way to the Early Iron Age in the region. The seminar will also consider the criteria used to identify this transition and the specific date marking the end of the Final Bronze 3b period. The seminar is intended for scholars and professionals in archaeology and protohistory, offering a platform to share research and debate key questions about this transitional period. It will likely include presentations, discussions, and opportunities for collaboration among participants. The organizers are inviting proposals for presentations or communications related to the seminar's themes. Those interested in presenting must submit their proposals by December 31, 2026, to the email addresses provided by the organizers. This deadline allows ample time for preparation and review before the seminar takes place. The event is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the Bronze to Iron Age transition in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, building upon previous research and discussions from earlier seminars.
