For many years, 260AD was seen as the dividing line between a
Romanesque classical age and a Germanic early medieval period. Now,
however, it is necessary to take more account of the manifold and
mutual cross-influences between the various population groups and
analyse forms of continuity and discontinuity, acculturation and
persistence. An examination of archaeological sources in Alamannia
shows the existence of Romanesque structures up to around the year
400. The "Reihengraberfelder" (burial gounds with the graves laid
out in rows) dating from the mid-5th century can be seen as marking
a new beginning. Various links to the Germanic Elbe region and the
Danube area show the heterogenity of the population at the
beginning of this era. As late as the 6th and 7th centuries,
however, different forms of burial can be found in areas close to
the Rhine and in the Danube region, which demonstrate the manifold
cross-influences.
