Overview

This is the first reference work to cover the archaeology of all of medieval Europe from Ireland to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy. Entries span the entire medieval period from the fall of the western Roman Empire (5th century AD) to the end of the high Middle Ages (c 1500 AD). Medieval Archaeology is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to a rapidly changing field, spurred in many countries by urban development which has led to the discovery of medieval ruins.

Reviews

Highly readable for nonspecialists... Recommended for large public and academic libraries. <br>- Booklist/RBB <br> Both students and lay readers interested in medieval studies will find it a valuable source. <br>- Against the Grain <br> An authoritative resource on the field of medieval archaeology... There is no comparable work currently available... Highly recommended for academic libraries supporting programs in archaeology or European history. <br>- American Reference Books Annual, 2000 <br> There is no encyclopedia with which to compare this work, which is highly readable for nonspecialists. Very little technical language is used. Bibliographies accompany each entry, and a subject guide by country and an index facilitate access. The work is recommended for large public and academic libraries where study of the social and urban aspects of this historical period may be augmented by knowledge gleaned from these digs. <br>- Booklist/RBB, March 1, 2001 <br>
