This book is a social political and economic history of the 1200 years during which the tribal societies of Northern Europe evolved into the earliest Viking states It offers an analysis and interpretation of the rich archaeological record and of the most recent results of environmental research The book opens with a consideration of burials and hoards and of the rituals that can be reconstructed from them The author isolates successive periods of social transformation that were marked by changes in the use of ritual as a vehicle for both change and its consolidation She describes the social and political geography of the region and traces the gradual move from tribalbased military and tributary relations towards the central organization of warfare and tribute Before the end of the period the North could wield a formidable military force within and beyond the region which had acted to overshadow earlier village loyalties Dr Hedeager concludes with an analysis of the ways in which social transformation is revealed and expressed by changes in settlements and in their economic relations with the world beyond She shows that by the end of the 7th century the economic political and military structures of the archaic states of northern Europe were already clearly evident

Barbarians is the name the Romans gave to those who lived beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire nbspthe peoples they considered uncivilised Most of the written sources concerning the barbarians come from the Romans too and as such need to be treated with caution Only archaeology allows us to see beyond Roman prejudices and yet these records are often as difficult to interpret as historical ones Expertly guiding the reader through such historiographical complexities Edward James traces the history of the barbarians from the height of Roman power through to AD 600 by which time they had settled in most parts of imperial territory in Europe His book is the first to look at all Europes barbarians the Picts and the Scots in the far northwest the Franks Goths and Slavicspeaking peoples and relative newcomers such as the Huns and Alans from the Asiatic steppes How did whole barbarian peoples migrate across Europe What were their relations with the Romans And why did they convert to Christianity Drawing on the latest scholarly research this book rejects easy generalisations to provide a clear nuanced and comprehensive account of the barbarians and the tumultuous period they lived through

In Europe the cross went north and east as the centuries unrolled from the Dingle Peninsula to Estonia and from the Alps to Lapland ranging in time from Roman Britain and Gaul in the third and fourth centuries to the conversion of peoples in the Baltic area a thousand years later These episodes of conversion form the basic narrative here History encourages the belief that the adoption of Christianity was somehow irresistible but specialists show the underside of the process by turning the spotlight from the missionaries who recorded their triumphs to the converted exploring their local situations and motives What were the reactions of the northern peoples to the Christian message Why would they wish to adopt it for the sake of its alliances In what way did they adapt the Christian ethos and infrastructure to suit their own community How did conversion affect the status of farmers of smiths of princes and of women Was society wholly changed or only in marginal matters of devotion and superstition These are the issues discussed here by thirtyeight experts from across northern Europe some answers come from astute rereadings of the texts alone but most are owed to a combination of history art history and archaeology working together MARTIN CARVER is Professor of Archaeology University of York

The Barbarian invasions that brought about the fall of the Roman Empire in the West laid the foundations of Europe as we know it But the historian who tried to understand this crucial period in European history is faced with a daunting task The written documents are few and often ambiguous and he must fall back on the still more vague evidence provided by archaeology epigraphy numismatics linguistics and toponymyThis book by one of the foremost experts on the Dark Ages provides authoritative guidelines to the bewildering flux of the period and recharts the fundamentals of such knowledge as the historian can obtain The original French edition of Professor Musses workpublished under the title Les Invasions les vagues germaniqueswas hailed by scholars everywhere as a work that brilliantly summaraized modern scholarship on the invasions and their consequencesIn Part One Professor Musset establishes the framework of his study tracing the history of each wave of invasions In Part Two he outlines the frontiers of knowledge in areas of major importance where no consensus has been reached and indicates lines of desirable future research Part Three provides a thorough and uptodate bibliography arranged according to topic and areaThis book makes an outstanding contribution to a field of study in which interest is growing It will be found indispensable both as an introduction and as a definitive summary of its subject

The medieval marketplace is a familiar setting in popular and academic accounts of the Middle Ages but we actually know very little about the people involved in the transactions that took place there how their lives were influenced by those transactions or about the complex networks of individuals whose actions allowed raw materials to be extracted hewn into objects stored and ultimately shipped for market Twenty diverse case studies combine leading edge techniques and novel theoretical approaches to illuminate the identities and lives of these much overlooked ordinary people painting of a number of detailed portraits to explore the worlds of actors involved in the lives of everyday products objects of bone leather stone ceramics and base metal and their production and use in medieval northern Europe In so doing this book seeks to draw attention away from the emergent trend to return to systems and global models and restore to centre stage what should be the archaeologists most important concern the people of the past
