Archäologische Chronologie und Historische Interpretation

Descripción

"Chronology is foundational for archeological research. But research based on written sources may run the risk of circular reasoning. This volume addresses the problem using the example of Southern Germany between the 5th to 8th century. The author shows that already around 500, chronologies were biased by the assumption of an opposition between Franks and Alemanni. Hence, he develops a new chronological model based on over 650 grave finds"--Provided by publisher.
