Title:
Archaeology of Visigothic and Carolingian Europe (5th-9th Centuries)
Content:
The session proposes to present and update the knowledge, material culture and landscapes about Visigothic and Carolingian archaeological sites in Europe, analyzing and comparing several cases. We would propose a discussion between recent discovered sites in Europe, particularly in Central and East-Europe for Carolingian times and Southern Europe for Visigothic times, to clarify the status of the issue. We should invite some researchers that are working on in some sites in Europe, to expose their research about new sites, material culture, and displacements of Visighotic and Carolingian boundaries through our continent.
As the Visigothic-carolingian site of l'Esquerda (Roda de Ter, 70 km northern Barcelona) is pro-grammed by the EAA for a half-day excursion, we are speaking with the EAA organizers in Barce-lona about the possibility of to continue the discussion there. We also could use the assembly hall of the Museu Arqueològic de l'Esquerda to hold this session.
