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. 606 $aHuman settlements$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFortification$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCommunity life$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zEurope 606 $aArchaeology, Medieval$zEurope 606 $aSocial archaeology$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xAntiquities 607 $aEurope$xDefenses$xHistory 615 0$aHuman settlements$xHistory 615 0$aFortification$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aArchaeology, Medieval 615 0$aSocial archaeology 676 $a940.1/2 702 $aChristie$b Neil 702 $aHerold$b Hajnalka 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816481403321 996 $aFortified settlements in early medieval Europe$93955681 997 $aUNINA
