{"product_id":"scotland-in-early-medieval-europe","title":"Scotland in Early Medieval Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume explores how (what is today) Scotland can be compared with, contrasted to, or was connected with other parts of Early Medieval Europe. Far from a 'dark age', Early Medieval Scotland (AD 300-900) was a crucible of different languages and cultures, the world of the Picts, Scots, Britons and Anglo-Saxons. Though long regarded as somehow peripheral to continental Europe, people in Early Medieval Scotland had mastered complex technologies and were part of sophisticated intellectual networks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This cross-disciplinary volume includes contributions focussing on archaeology, artefacts, art-history and history, and considers themes that connect Scotland with key processes and phenomena happening elsewhere in Europe. Topics explored include the transition from Iron Age to Early Medieval societies and the development of secular power centres, the Early Medieval intervention in prehistoric landscapes, and the management of resources necessary to build kingdoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003eAlice Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peripheral vision: Scotland in Early Medieval Europe\u003cbr\u003eEwan Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'A bright crowd of chancels': whither early church archaeology in Scotland?\u003cbr\u003eSally M Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 5-6th century Early Medieval Pictish power centre at Rhynie, north-east Scotland, and its European context\u003cbr\u003eMeggen Gondek \u0026amp; Gordon Noble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Norrie's Law, Gaulcross and beyond: widening the context of hacksilver hoarding in Scotland\u003cbr\u003eAlice Blackwell \u0026amp; Martin Goldberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An Early Medieval and prehistoric nexus: the Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot project\u003cbr\u003eEwan Campbell, Stephen Driscoll, Meggen Gondek \u0026amp; Adrian Maldonado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Political transition at Portmahomack: the European context\u003cbr\u003eMartin Carver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Early Medieval burial in European context: log coffins in Scotland\u003cbr\u003eAdrian Maldonado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Medieval European land assessment, Fortriu, and the dabhach\u003cbr\u003eAlasdair Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ideas of origins and ethnicity in Early Medieval Scotland\u003cbr\u003eNicholas Evans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789088907517\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9789088907517","offer_id":39289597821021,"sku":"9789088907517","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1813cb6f-e08d-4228-80e3-87b535d66337.jpg?v=1746773274","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/scotland-in-early-medieval-europe","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
