Bonnie Effros

Uncovering the Germanic Past

Merovingian Archaeology in France, 1830-1914

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume suggests how the slow genesis of Merovingian archaeology in France challenged the prevailing views of the population's exclusively Gallic ancestry. A history of the first century of the discipline, Effros' interdisciplinary study looks at the important contributions of medieval archaeological finds to modern French identity.
