The deer is also among. La Tène period pit deposits show that the deer has a prominent role in this context. The deer is represented as a figural illustration on deposited vessels, as sculpture, but also as deposit of antlers or animals, therefore represented in a pictorially and materially form. In contrast to anthropomorphic sculptures, which can be categorized on the basis of inscriptions in roman times to certain gods, the importance of zoomorphic representations can difficultly be inferred. Nevertheless some features, both the sculpture itself and its context, suggest that it is specifically for the La Tène deer representations to be the epiphany of a divinity, which appearance transforms itself from a zoomorphic idea to a hybrid of man and deer. Findings from the roman period show in form of antlers deposit in pits parallels between features of La Tène and roman period.

They are developed and articulated not only in oral and literal forms of expression, but also in images and artefacts. By virtue of their materiality, these narratives take place in specific contexts of, for instance, observation, use, veneration and destruction. How do these images and artefacts perform narration? Where are the social loci of their observation? How do these contexts – social practices, religious rituals, demonstrations of political power – interact with, and re-affect the images/artefacts in question? These questions and the complex network of visual media, narratives and social contexts constitute the central agenda of the conference. Special emphasis is given to early cultures of the Old World, ranging from Mesopotamia and Egypt through Classical and Late Antiquity including European Prehistory. Approaches from various fields of the cultural studies, including philosophy, literary theory and art history will complement the case studies both from archaeology and extra-European and contemporary cultures, thereby putting their findings into a broader methodological framework.
The conference has been kindly funded by the FRIAS and the DFG.

They are articulated not only in oral and literal forms of expression, but also through images and artefacts. By virtue of their materiality, these objects bearing narrative potential have their specific contexts of appreciation. But how do images actually trigger narration? Can we describe the social loci of their observation? And how do these contexts – social practices, religious rituals, demonstrations of political power – interact with, and re-affect the artefacts in question? Both case studies from archaeology and approaches from a wider range of cultural studies seek to answer these questions within a broader methodological framework.
