| Abstract | This first of two sessions on central places in the early and high Middle Ages brings together historians and archaeologists to discuss the role of central places in terms of their political, economic, social and/or religious functions. The session focuses on Eastern Central Europe, where central places in part go back to late antique, Roman political or military centers, as for example in the Bavarian territories south of the Danube. These 'old centers' will be compared to new central places, which developed in the area north of the Danube, as for example in Moravia. |
