This book explores the uncharted territory of the history of
archaeology under Communism through the biographies of five women
archaeologists from the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary,
and Poland. They were working in medieval archaeology, with a
specific focus on the (early) Slavs. The choice of specialists in
medieval archaeology has much to do with the fact that in the five
East European countries considered in this book, medieval
archaeology began to develop into a serious discipline less than a
century ago. The main catalyst for the sudden rise of medieval
archaeology was a dramatic shift in emphasis from traditional
political and constitutional to social and economic history. In
five countries, the rise of medieval archaeology thus coincides in
time, and was ultimately caused by the imposition of Communist
regimes. The five women were therefore true pioneers in their
field, and respective countries.
