These could be sites of strongly martial nature, upland retreats, monastic enclosures, rural seats, island bases, or urban nuclei. But they were all expressions of control--of states, frontiers, lands, materials, communities--and ones defined by walls, ramparts or enclosing banks. Papers run from Irish cashels to Welsh and Pictish strongholds, Saxon burhs, Viking fortresses, Byzantine castra, Carolingian creations, Venetian barricades, Slavic strongholds, and Bulgarian central places, and coverage extends fully from north-west Europe, to central Europe, the northern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Strongly informed by recent fieldwork and excavations, but drawing also where available on the documentary record, this important collection provides fully up-to-date reviews and analyses of the archaeologies of the distinctive settlement forms that characterised Europe in the Early Middle Ages"--From publisher's website. 000797603 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000797603 650_0 $$aHuman settlements$$zEurope$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000797603 650_0 $$aFortification$$zEurope$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000797603 650_0 $$aCommunity life$$zEurope$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000797603 650_0 $$aExcavations (Archaeology)$$zEurope. 000797603 650_0 $$aArchaeology, Medieval$$zEurope. 000797603 650_0 $$aSocial archaeology$$zEurope. 000797603 651_0 $$aEurope$$xAntiquities. 000797603 651_0 $$aEurope$$xDefenses$$xHistory. 000797603 7001_ $$aChristie, Neil,$$eeditor. 000797603 7001_ $$aHerold, Hajnalka,$$eeditor. 000797603 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tFortified settlements in early medieval Europe : defended communities of the 8th-10th centuries.$$dOxford : Oxbow Books, 2016$$z9781785702358 000797603 852__ $$bebk 000797603 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4572875$$zOnline Access 000797603 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:797603$$pGLOBAL_SET 000797603 980__ $$aEBOOK 000797603 980__ $$aBIB 000797603 982__ $$aEbook 000797603 983__ $$aOnline
