Items related to Archaeology of Medieval Europe: Eighth to Twelfth Centuries...
The two volumes of The Archaeology of Medieval Europe will together comprise the first complete account of medieval archaeology across Europe. Archaeologists from academic institutions in fifteen countries are collaborating to produce these two books of sixteen thematic chapters each. In addition, every chapter will feature a number of 'box-texts', by specialist contributors, highlighting sites or themes of particular importance. The books will be comprehensively illustrated throughout, in both colour and b/w, including line drawings and specially commissioned maps. This ground-breaking set, which is divided chronologically into two (Vol. 1 extending from the Eighth to Twelfth Centuries AD, and Vol. 2 from the Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries - to appear 2008), will enable readers to track the development of different cultures, and of regional characteristics, throughout the full extent of medieval Catholic Europe. In addition to revealing shared contexts and technological developments, the complete work will also provide the opportunity for demonstrating the differences that were inevitably present across the Continent - from Iceland to Italy, and from Portugal to Finland - and to study why such differences existed.

Review:
"The editors and authors of this successful volume have created an invaluable and accessible resource for the teaching of medieval archaeology. In the process, they have demonstrated the richness and variety of medieval research throughout Europe in the last four decades. By engaging an international team of authors, regional patterns are more apparent in medieval archaeology and also in the practice of the discipline." -- Roberta Gilchrist. Medieval Archaeology Vol 52
