Abstract

This session follows another one title 'Change and Continuity in 10th Century Western Europe, I: The Resources of Central Authorities - The Identities of Local Leaders.' However this session will focus on the archaeological record of the 10th century and on the changes and continuities that are possible to be recognized by archaeologists. The session takes a transnational approach, with focus on Scandinavia (Norway), England, and Spain, that intends to put in order comparative approaches to investigate social, economic, and political complexities on a continental scale, with the main intention of interpreting 'landscapes of social and political inequality.'
