Zwischen Sptantike und Frhmittelalter

The 15 articles in this volume are dedicated to the analysis of fundamental cultural developments between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Archaeologists and historians offer new perspectives on Central and Western Europe which do not simply polarise between Romans and Germans. Central themes are the relationship between historical studies and archaeology, the beginnings of the Early Middle Ages, the archaeology of early medieval "peoples", the role of burials, as well as trade and exchange. The result is a complex picture of an epoch of decisive change.
