The rebirth of urbanism in Carolingian Europe,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Towns and Trade in the Age of Charlemagne (Duckworth Debates in Archaeology) (Paperback)
A short introduction to urban continuity/discontinuity between Classical Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. A history of the debate from Pirenne and interpretations of the historical literature to the recent archaeology of the North Sea emporiums such as Dorestad, Hamwic, and Ribe. A excellent and quick read on a subject that vexes historians and archaeologists alike.
