This book examines one region of north-eastern Gaul around Metz in
the period between the end of the Roman Empire and the accession of
Charlemagne. It adopts a new, multi-disciplinary approach using all
available evidence, both documentary and archaeological. It deals
with a broad range of historical themes, and, by looking at the
reasons behind the creation of different forms of evidence, it
examines how the different facets of social organisation
(ethnicity, gender, age and social hierarchy) were related
intimately to each other and to contemporary settlement patterns of
the region. As a result, it is argued that the Merovingian period
was not one of slow 'transformation' from 'Roman' to 'medieval' but
was one of constant, dynamic social change and diversity even
between the recognised periods of dramatic upheaval.
