Medieval archaeology is a relatively young discipline. It relies
heavily on and contributes to the neighbouring disciplines of
history and geography as well as certain of the natural sciences.
The kinds of sources investigated in the context of medieval
archaeology also cast light on many aspects of life in later
centuries. The main sources used are: graveyards, churches and
churchyards; castles and fortifications; rural and urban
settlements; technical production sites and routes of
communication. Closely allied to these are the numerous finds of
small objects of everyday life, from cutlery and tools to animal
remains and grain. This book is a comprehensive discussion of what
can be established from the use of such materials about the culture
and daily life of medieval Germany. Each subject is augmented with
the use of many illustrations. Besides methodological questions,
the author considers what can be learnt about the history of
settlement and architecture, of technology, of economic and social
matters, of churches and missions, and of population, diet and
vegetation.
