Post-Roman Towns, Trade and Settlement in Europe and Byzantium: The heirs of the Roman West
In this collection leading international authorities analyse the structures and economic functions of non-agrarian centres between ca. 500 and 1000 A.D. - their trade, their surrounding settlements, and the agricultural and cultural milieux. The thirty-one papers presented at an international conference held in Bad Homburg focus on recent archaeological discoveries in Central Europe (Vol.1), as well as on those from southeastern Europe to Asia Minor (Vol. 2).

The Donkey and the Boat
A new account of the Mediterranean economy in the 10th to 12th centuries, forcing readers to entirely rethink the underlying logic to medieval economic systems. Chris Wickham re-examines documentary and archaeological sources to give a detailed account of both individual economies, and their relationships with each other. Chris Wickham offers a new account of the Mediterranean economy in the tenth to twelfth centuries, based on a completely new look at the sources, documentary and archaeological. Our knowledge of the Mediterranean economy is based on syntheses which are between 50 and 150 years old; they are based on outdated assumptions and restricted data sets, and were written before ther...
The Long Morning of Medieval Europe
Recent advances in research show that the distinctive features of high medieval civilization began developing centuries earlier than previously thought. The era once dismissed as a "Dark Age" now turns out to have been the long morning of the medieval millennium: the centuries from AD 500 to 1000 witnessed the dawn of developments that were to shape Europe for centuries to come. In 2004, historians, art historians, archaeologists, and literary specialists from Europe and North America convened at Harvard University for an interdisciplinary conference exploring new directions in the study of that long morning of medieval Europe, the early Middle Ages. Invited to think about what seemed to eac...
Multimodal and Nanoscale Optical Microscopy
Optical microscopy is developing into nanoscopy and multimodal microscopy the better to decipher the functioning mechanisms in living systems, and investigating biological specimens at molecular level using fluorescence as a mechanism of contrast. Results have demonstrated the potential to provide information at the Angstrom level. Other optical methods now offer more in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, making it possible to study the delicate and complex relationship between structure and function in cells. Modern optical microscopes also use the decisive advantage provided by artificial intelligence algorithms. All in all, a rapidly changing field with an increasing number of ques...
Europa Postmediaevalis 2022
26 contributions divided into five thematic sections consider post-medieval pottery from the perspectives of local, regional and long-distance trade. Papers show the importance of connections and networking and provide an opportunity to compare concrete find situations across Europe – in both coastal as well as landlocked states.
Computing Archaeology for Understanding the Past
A series of 51 papers forming the Proceedings of the 28th CAA Conference held at Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2000 focusing on computer applications and quantative methods in European and American archaeology.
Miranduolo in alta Val di Merse (Chiusdino - SI). Archeologia su un sito di potere del Medioevo toscano
Il progetto Miranduolo nasce alla fine degli anni ’90 del XX secolo quando, con la redazione della Carta Archeologica della Provincia di Siena, fu sottoposto a ricognizione il territorio comunale di Chiusdino. Il censimento della risorsa archeologica aveva infatti portato anche all’individuazione di alcuni contesti medievali molto importanti come i castelli di Serena e di Miranduolo, documentati sino dai primi anni del Mille, oggi sepolti in zone a copertura boschiva. Nel 2001 hanno preso avvio gli scavi su Miranduolo, giunti ormai al settimo anno. Lo spessore dei depositi archeologici rilevati risulta straordinario sia per la conformazione topografica del sito (articolato su terrazzamen...
