The Archaeology of Medieval Europe, Vol. 2: Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries

by Martin Carver (Editor)

The two volumes of The Archaeology of Medieval Europe together comprise th first complete account of Medieval Archaeology across the continent. This ground-breaking set will enable readers to track the development of different cultures and regions over the 800 years that formed the Europe we have today. In addition to revealing the process of Europeanisation, within its shared intellectual and technical inheritance, the complete work provides an opportunity for demonstrating the differences that were inevitably present across the continent - from Iceland to Sicily and Portugal to Finland.
