Rome Conference 24– 26 November 2021
Constructing and Using Christian Buildings during Early Islam: Interconnected Approaches to the Church in the Mediterranean and the Middle East (7th-9th c.)
Organization: Simon PIERRE (Sorbonne Université/Ifpo) & M.ª Ángeles UTRERO AGUDO (EEHAR-CSIC)
This International Conference intends to approach the constructions and uses of religious Christian buildings in most of the territories of the early Islamic empire (7th- 9th c.), from Armenia and Iraq to Ifriqiya and al-Andalus. Archaeologists and historians are invited to present, compare and discuss their respective sources, methodologies and perspectives with the aim of finding possible consistent chronological and geographical trends and breaks.
This is a hybrid event (online and in-person) and will take place at the EEHAR CSIC (via di S. Eufemia 13 in Rome). Everyone attending this event in-person must pre-register sending an email to escuela@eehar.csic.es and will be required to present a valid Green pass and keep the face mask on while staying in the indoor EEHAR spaces.
