In late Antiquity, archaeology demonstrates lively and far-flung
exchange along the river Dniester, through current Poland to the
Baltic. By the 11th century the former Barbaricum had been
transformed into a string of Christian kingdoms and principalities,
whose parallel histories are as conspicuous as their differences.
From the legendary (if possible real) migrations of the Goths in
Antiquity to the Varangian guard at the imperial court of Byzantium
in the late Viking Age, trans-cultural interaction complemented
important historical development. This book is about aspects of the
changing interactions from late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages,
from Goths to Varangians, and from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The
history and archaeology of these connections have been poorly
exposed and investigated in modern times. The papers presented in
this volume are a selection of those presented during a series of
four meetings organised 2007-2009 by the "Varangian Network", an
interdisciplinary network for archaeological and historical
research on relations between the Baltic and the Black Sea from
late Antiquity to the medieval period.
