About UrbNet

The centre aims to develop research that will offer comparison of the archaeology of urbanism from Medieval Northern Europe to the Ancient Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean World and determine how, and to what extent, past urban networks catalyzed societal and environmental expansions and crises in the past. The centre aims to embrace and connect the archaeologies at Aarhus University, and to create a research-environment for cross-fertilizing problems based firmly in the humanities with new data arising from sciences.
