AD 600 and 1150. During these centuries radical changes occurred in the organisation of the rural world. Towns and complex communities of artisans and merchant-traders emerged and networks of contact between northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle and Far East were redefined, with long-lasting consequences into the present day. Loveluck provides the most comprehensive comparative analysis of the rural and urban archaeological remains in this area for twenty-five years. Supported by evidence from architecture, relics, manuscript illuminations and texts, this book explains how the power and intentions of elites were confronted by the aspirations and actions of the diverse rural peasantry, artisans and merchants, producing both intended and unforeseen social changes. 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aSocial change$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial archaeology$zEurope, Northern 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions$yTo 1492 615 0$aSocial history 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 676 $a940.1/4 700 $aLoveluck$b Christopher$0777624 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818237503321 996 $aNorthwest Europe in the early Middle Ages, c.
