The Archaeology Of Medieval Europe

Beskrivelse

Discover a comprehensive exploration of medieval archaeology across Europe in this two-volume set. It brings together experts from fifteen countries to present a detailed study of the continent's past.

An extensive, collaborative study covering medieval Europe's archaeology from the Eighth to the Sixteenth Century.

The Archaeology of Medieval Europe offers the first full account of the field, split into two volumes. Volume 1 covers the period from the Eighth to the Twelfth Centuries AD, while Volume 2 spans from the Twelfth to the Sixteenth Centuries.

Each volume contains sixteen thematic chapters written by archaeologists from various academic institutions across Europe. Alongside these chapters, specialist contributors provide ‘box-texts’ that highlight key sites or important themes.

The books are richly illustrated with both color and black-and-white images, including line drawings and specially created maps, enhancing the reader’s understanding of the material.

This groundbreaking collection allows readers to trace the evolution of different cultures and regional traits throughout medieval Catholic Europe. It explores shared contexts and technological progress while also examining the differences found across the continent-from Iceland to Italy, and Portugal to Finland-and investigates the reasons behind these variations.
