Location: 4-6 September 2009, Malbork, Poland

Keywords

Crusades; Ecology; Baltic; Archaeology; History

Summary

The crusades in the Baltic from the 12th-16th centuries AD had a significant impact on the region, and are fundamental to understanding the development and consolidation of a European society, united under Christianity. This project aims to explore the environmental impact of this process, with the aim of establishing an interpretative framework that can be employed in other European frontier regions which experienced colonisation, crusading and inter-cultural interaction.
