In our annual medieval forum, we want to discuss how the mediterranean provided also in the Middle Ages a connection between North Africa and South Europe. The connection was very dynamic and provided a permanent interaction. Two or Three key-notes and shorter statements by young researchers will introduce the discussion. The medieval Forum is not only concerned with the scientific debate about the past, but also wants to explore research issues, agenda's and more in medieval archaeology for the future.
