Frontier Landscape Project The archaeology of Roman colonialism in the Fronteira area, ancient Lusitania (Northern Alentejo region, Portugal, 2018)

Abstract

The Frontier Landscape Project (FLP) is a new archaeological project funded by the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and coordinated by Leiden University and Évora University. The aim of the project is to advance our knowledge of Ro- man colonialism in Western Iberia (modern Portugal), and its particular position within the wider Mediterranean world. Building on Dutch and Portuguese expertise, the FLP strives to create a sustainable collaboration between international scholars and students of archaeology.
