The conceptual emphasis here is on the relation between material culture and ethnicity. The author demonstrates that the history of the Sclavenes and the Antes begins only at around 500 AD. He also points to the significance of the archaeological evidence, which suggests that specific artefacts may have been used as identity markers. This evidence also indicates the role of local leaders in building group boundaries and in leading successful raids across the Danube. Because of these military and political developments, Byzantine authors began employing names such as Sclavines and Antes in order to make sense of the process of group identification that was taking place north of the Danube frontier. Slavic ethnicity is therefore shown to be a Byzantine invention.Cambridge studies in medieval life and thought ;4th ser., 52.History and archaeology of the Lower Danube Region ca. 500-700SlavsLower Danube River RegionHistorySlavsBalkan PeninsulaHistorySlavsEthnic identitySlavsHistoryExcavations (Archaeology)Lower Danube River RegionLower Danube River ValleyAntiquities, SlavicSlavsHistory.SlavsHistory.SlavsEthnic identity.SlavsHistory.Excavations (Archaeology)949.6/01Curta Florin443793UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996248114403316The making of the slavs1888375UNISA
