This volume, the proceedings of a 2005 conference looks at
long-distance contacts and exchange and the collapse and creation
of international systems during late antiquity. Broadly the papers
posit that the decay of the Roman state lead to more not less long
distance contact, with the spread of world relgions and new
technologies both indicators of, and causes of this process. There
is a theoretical paper from Ken Dark, then a series of more
specialised studies which look at trade with China, Ethiopia and
India and at the use of bracteates and pottery ampullae as evidence
of long-distance exchange.
