Connections and Transformations in Early Europe examines the diverse economic, social, and symbolic practices of Iron Age and early medieval societies in northern, western, and central Europe, offering fresh insights into the innovative processes of the 1st millennium BC and AD.
This book provides a comprehensive exploration of connectivity, mobility, urbanism, and visual worlds in early European societies. Through regional case studies, including the British Isles, Germany, Poland, the Lower Rhine Valley, and Denmark, readers gain a deeper understanding of how social identities were communicated and urban centers emerged. With contributions from leading scholars, it delivers valuable theoretical reflections supported by the latest research and discoveries, underscoring the transformative nature of these regions during the 1st millennium.
Providing a lasting tribute to Peter S. Wells, whose influence continues to shape the study of prehistoric and early historic Europe, this book is for students and researchers of late prehistoric and early historic Europe during the final millennium BC and the 1st millennium AD.
