The aim of the conference is to discover and disclose historical, linguistic, cultural and other sources of information about the ancient inhabitants of Europe, taking into account various aspects, which can contribute to an improved knowledge of the events in the distant past. The core of the conference should be archaeological facts and written documents, toponyms, genetic traces, beliefs, mythology, legends, customs and other data which could help to reveal the organisation, communications and cooperation of the ancient inhabitants in Europe during particular epochs of the distant past. What is expected and most welcome is to elucidate the changes of the living conditions and activities during the whole period till the end of the first millennium AD. It is important to bring forward all the significant characteristics of the ancient population, which can still be established today.
