The Rise of Bronze Age Societies

A View from the Maros Culture (Southeastern Europe)

Lecture is free and open to the public and students.
Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 7:30 pm
UWL Student Union, room 3310

The Bronze Age was a time of dramatic changes that included new technologies, broad trade networks, and more stratified societies, and the Carpathian Basin of Southeastern Europe was at their epicenter. Dr. Nicodemus will offer new insights into the rise of Bronze Age societies through the lens of the Maros culture in Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. There, fortified "tell" settlements emerged as centers of craft production and trade, social and ritual activities, and elite power, fundamentally altering the cultural landscape.

Dr. Amy Nicodemus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at UW-La Crosse. She received her PhD from University of Michigan in 2014 joined the UWL faculty in 2016. Her research in Eastern Europe since 2021 has including work in Hungary, Romania, and Serbia. Nicodemus is a zooarchaeologist and specializes in the Bronze Age. She has been the director of the Rabe Archaeological Project in Serbia since 2017 and co-director of the Pecica Archaeological Project in Romania  since 2011.
