Comprising nineteen papers  taken from a conference held at Worcester College, Oxford in  2000, the focus here is very much on the smaller, more rural  trading centres and inland markets of Northern Europe. The  contributors reflect very different approaches to the material,  including studies that examine up-to-date historical, archaeological and numismatic evidence from Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden dating from the 7th to 9th  century. The authors consider the rather controversial use of  metal-detecting in identifying and defining new sites and  patterns of interaction and exchange, highlighting its positive  contribution. Contributors include Mark Blackburn, David Griffiths, Lars Jorgensen, Michael Metcalf, Julian D Richards,  Peter Sawyer and Astrid Tummuscheit.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551244099857,"sku":"GOR013614251","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51342549647633,"sku":"NGR9781911188476","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191118847X.jpg?v=1750770201"},{"product_id":"celtic-art-in-europe-book-katharina-ulmschneider-9781782976554","title":"Celtic Art in Europe","description":"The ancient Celtic world evokes debate, discussion, romanticism and mythicism. On the one hand it represents a specialist area of archaeological interest, on the other, it has a wide general appeal. The Celtic world is accessible through archaeology, history, linguistics and art history. Of these disciplines, art history offers the most direct message to a wider audience. This volume of 37 papers brings together a truly international group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies. It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to understand Celtic art and argue for novel approaches in discussions spanning the whole of Continental Europe and the British Isles. This new body of international scholarship will give the reader a sense of the richness of the material and current debates. Artefacts of rich form and decoration, which we might call art, provide a most sensitive set of indicators of key areas of past societies, their power, politics and transformations. With its broad geographical scope, this volume offers a timely opportunity to re-assess contacts, context, transmission and meaning in Celtic art for understanding the development of European cultures, identities and economies in pre- and proto-history.   Essays in honour of Vincent Megaw on his 80th birthday.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735740195089,"sku":"NGR9781782976554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50166054879505,"sku":"GOR010917679","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1782976558.jpg?v=1751312770"},{"product_id":"markets-minsters-and-metal-detectors-book-katharina-ulmschneider-9781841710914","title":"Markets, minsters and metal-detectors","description":"This book presents a study and comparison of the historical and archaeological records of Middle Saxon Lincolnshire and Hampshire in the period immediately following the conversion to Christianity to the reign of King Alfred (c.650-870). The work charts and compares, from an archaeological perspective, the political, social, and economic development of Lincolnshire and Hampshire throughout the Middle Saxon period. It is the first full-length study of this period to include metal-detector finds,and to illustrate the outstanding importance of this extensive and continuously growing new material. In fact, the book presents a plea for the recognition of metal-detected material and the outstanding value of these finds to the archaeology of theMiddle Saxon period. Containing 31 detailed maps in colour, illustrating finds and features.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52660190609681,"sku":"NLS9781841710914","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52995514663185,"sku":"NIN9781841710914","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781841710914.jpg?v=1762264690"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-katharina-ulmschneider.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
