Research subject for a potential FP6 project

In the frame of the subtheme „ Knowledge-based Society and social cohesion“ the project ans-wers, on scientific, medial, and local municipality levels, questions of common historical consciousness and cultural heritage using the example of settlement continuity of urban agglomerations in the Danube region, spanning, as shown by e.g. Kehlheim, Ingolstadt, Linz, Wien, Bratislava, Esztergom, Budapest, from pre-urban sites, Celtic oppida, to Medieval and modern towns that have risen under the same “town beneath town” model of historical development.
The goals –to strenghten the identification of inhabitants from the towns on Danube and within the Danube basin with their home/native area through pointing out/stressing the common roots to contribute to integration processes within the European conception. The support of the urban and suburban tourism.
Means – In collaboration of archaeological and cultural heritage institutions, towns and regional municipalities, to create the general models of historical development stressing their similarities and common relations based on examples of chosen sites.
Tools – research, publications, presentations of chosen sites, articulation of familiarisating tourist pathways, common itinerant (moving) exhibition.
Work group from Archaeological Institute SAS participates to the attempt on the Slovak part of the Danube, co-operating on projects with Germany (Roman Finds in european Barbaricum), Austria (Porta Hungarica) and Hungary (Cross-boundary research activities). The institute offers specialists, provides constructing of archaeological models as well as reconstructions and cohesion of individual activities to common project focused on presentation of results within society.
