The co-ordinating body of the RURALIA association is the RURALIA COMMITTEE, made up of representatives of each of the participating countries, and led by the president together with the executive committee. The Association's first president was Jean-Marie Pesez (1929-1998), whose name the conference series now bears. Ruralia is an international association for the archaeology of medieval settlements and rural life. It provides a colloquium of current problems in rural archaeology from most participating European countries to strengthen the exchange of knowledge in, and the development of, archaeologically comparable studies, and to make archaeological results available to other disciplines.
