The State of the Art in Medieval European Archaeology: New Discoveries, Future Directions
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "The State of the Art in Medieval European Archaeology: New Discoveries, Future Directions," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The papers in this session present the results of recent and ongoing fieldwork and laboratory research on the archaeology of medieval Europe (c. 400-1500 CE). These interdisciplinary and international projects represent some of the most exciting and innovative work being conducted across the continent from the collapse of the Roman Empire to the emergence of the modern world. Themes of political conflict and conquest, frontiers, urbanization, daily lived experience, and human-environment dynamics are examined through the lenses of bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology, landscape studies, archaeometric analyses, and so forth.
