réf. 65941Brepols 2019. Hardback xviii 430 pages Size:156 x 234 mm Illustrations:14 b/w 39 maps 6 graphs Language: English. ISBN 9782503581682. Summary How were early medieval people connected to each other and to the wider world In this collection archaeologists and historians working in very different areas of early medieval Europe explore diverse evidence - from landscape and burial archaeology to charters and chronicles - to discuss the relationships that constituted neighbourhoods and the roles these played in the processes of state formation that can be observed in the peripheries of the Frankish world. What these case-studies teach us the contributors argue is that polities are formed not through the exclusive operation of either top-down or bottom-up agencies but from the interplay between them. By exploring the ways in which local knowledge social ties and understandings of landscape interacted with higher-level authorities and institutions we can gain real insights into the nature of early medieval power and people's experiences of it. Marking the culmination of a collective effort that has spanned over a decade and three funded projects this volume brings together case-studies from Spain Italy England northern Frankia Norway and Iceland to offer a comparative view of polities and neighbourhoods in early medieval Europe. Drawing on new research and offering new perspectives driven by an interdisciplinary approach this volume is of relevance to a range of disciplines including archaeology history onomastics geography and anthropology.
