4.9/5 (11451 ratings)

Description:The time in Scotland after the Romans and before the Vikings used to be known by scholars as the 'Dark Age'. Much light has now been shed on it; although there is a lack of historical documentation, archaeology has provided new information. Surviving objects demonstrate that Scotland was part of a sophisticated network and that craftsmen had mastered complex technologies, as shown by the elaborately carved Hilton of Cadboll stone, the house-shaped Monymusk Reliquary, and the sumptuously decorated Hunterston brooch.The book argues that archaeological material surviving from this time needs to be treated on its own terms and not made to fit historical texts; and tells stories backed up by archaeological evidence under the headings Individuals/Communities/Ideas and Ideologies. It does not deconstruct previous studies of the period but rather highlights the possibilities provided by the material culture evidence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
