This period is known in the Estonian archaeological chronology as the Migration Period, the Pre-Viking Age, and the Viking Age. This was an era of rapid change, by the end of which traditional Estonian peasant culture as it is known until the 19th century had developed. Whereas in Western Europe written sources from the second half of the first millennium AD herald the arrival of the Middle Ages, there is an almost complete absence of written information about the prevailing conditions and events that took place in the area of present-day Estonia. There are only remains of the farms and fortresses of that time beneath the earth, as well as cemeteries, overgrown field baulks and clearance cairns, and the large amount of excavated ancient objects or fragments thereof. Many aspects of prehistoric life cannot be researched because the source material is not extant and there is no hope of finding it. Moreover, many phenomena of human life do not generate archaeological source material. Thus our overall understanding of the Estonian Middle Iron Age and the Viking Age is inevitably fragmentary and superficial. 410 0$aEstonian archaeology ;$v4. 606 $aRegions & Countries - Europe$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aRussia & Former Soviet Republics$2HILCC 607 $aEstonia$xHistory 607 $aEstonia$xSocial conditions 607 $aEstonia$xEconomic conditions 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Europe 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aRussia & Former Soviet Republics 700 $aTvauri$b Andres$0801839 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141429003321 996 $aMigration Period, Pre-Viking Age, and Viking Age in Estonia$91803115 997 $aUNINA
