Reviews

The author and his team of collaborators are to be congratulated for contributing not just a report and challenging analysis from their fieldwork, but for creating a major and enduring resource for future comparative research into the material culture and history of the region. * Antiquity *

Excellently illustrated, the near-900 pages of dense and detailed discussion of archaeological data that make up The Transition to Late Antiquity... are an important source of information for developments in central Bulgaria from the 2nd to the 6th/7th centuries AD. The finds discussions, presented to a standard only rarely found in excavation reports, make it an essential tool for those studying the material culture of this period in the region (and beyond). The addition of an extensively studied and now well-published site to the wider Yantra Valley region, which includes sites such as Nicopolis ad Istrum, Iatrus-Krivina and Novae-Svistov, makes this part of the world a key area for our understanding of the Roman and late antique period on the Lower Danube - and the volume under review forms a key addition to any (strong) bookshelf on the Roman and late-Roman Balkans. * Medieval Archaeology * The author and his team of collaborators are to be congratulated for contributing not just a report and challenging analysis from their fieldwork, but for creating a major and enduring resource for future comparative research into the material culture and history of the region. * Antiquity *
