The idea of ?unity of culture? in Medieval Latin Europe is well known in historical texts, especially when it concerns the so-called ?Europe North of the Alps?. This book investigates the similarities and differences in material culture between areas, regions and political entities and opens the dialogue for a more interregional discussion. The editors acknowledge that there are numerous challenges in understanding the phenomenon the volume addresses, the fundamental one being defining (or even redefining) a common material culture of Europe. Important in determining this is greater appreciation of how objects reflect interactions between peoples, both local and foreign, which can be driven by a variety of factors, including trade, conflict and diplomacy etc. But just as important is observing the differences between ?things? across Europe, reflecting developments and transformations its cultural, social and economic history. These works are traditionally presented in isolation or at the local level, maybe even in very specialized tomes, as often it is thought their observation are not relevant to wider discourses. Conversely, what is clear, however, is that by interconnecting these seemingly introvert studies of specific artefact types or sites etc., readers can better appreciate the similarities and differences in material culture across Europe. This book is of interest to researchers in archaeology and material culture. 410 0$aThemes in Contemporary Archaeology,$x2730-745X 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aCultural History 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aArchaeology. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a306.094 676 $a940.1 702 $aSawicki$b Jakub 702 $aLewis$b Michael 702 $aVargha$b Ma?ria 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799496303321 996 $aA United Europe of Things$94450372 997 $aUNINA
