This study focuses on the diversity with which early medieval
society formed not only among macro European zones but also within
individual areas, and thus on the need to look beyond the models
elaborated during a phase in which archaeological sources were
still fragmentary and inadequate. Through a combination of
historical and documented-based investigation and the most recent
extensive archaeological data, the author makes a comparative
analysis of the different results of the movements of Germanic
groups, especially in the particularly representative area of
northern Italy and the Alpine system, during various periods: in
the 5th century as auxiliary troops under the control of the same
Roman Empire (Burgundians), then as the new military elites and
finally as the new ruling class (Ostrogoths and Langobards),
revealing how the cultural evolution of the new sites appears to be
strictly correlated to different situations and often common to the
new Germanic element and to the local Romanised components.
Interesting and stimulating concepts that underscore the formation
of a shared culture are presented in this contribution along with a
refreshing new perspective of certain aspects, such as the
evolution of clothing and funerary rituals, already considered
expressions of simple ethnic preservation.
