{"product_id":"early-medieval-settlements-helena-hamerow-9780199273188","title":"Early Medieval Settlements: The Archaeology of Rural Communities in North-West Europe 400-900","description":"The excavation of settlements has in recent years transformed our understanding of north-west Europe in the early Middle Ages. We can for the first time begin to answer fundamental questions such as: what did houses look like and how were they furnished? how did villages and individual farmsteads develop? how and when did agrarian production become intensified and how did this affect village communities? what role did craft production and trade play in the rural economy? In a period for which written sources are scarce, archaeology is of central importance in understanding the 'small worlds' of early medieval communities. Helena Hamerow's extensively illustrated and accessible study offers the first overview and synthesis of the large and rapidly growing body of evidence for early medieval settlements in north-west Europe, as well as a consideration of the implications of this evidence for Anglo-Saxon England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Hamerow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199273189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199273188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.51d","brand":"Helena Hamerow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199832604927,"sku":"9780199273188","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ea94e34-f287-4f85-a4cf-280f574e69e5.jpg?v=1756785333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-medieval-settlements-helena-hamerow-9780199273188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
