| Abstract: |
The volume covers major excavations from eleven countries of western and eastern Europe. J Paulik (pp 1-31) writes of Mikul ice in Great Moravia, where ten churches of 9th-century date have been explored. W Kimmig discusses excavations at the Celtic fortress of the Heuneburg (32-64). The long excavation campaign at the medieval Hannseatic port of the Bryggen, Bergen is described by A E Herteig (65-89), and new knowledge of the Danish Viking fortresses is Olaf Olsen's subject (90-110). The Helgö finds are described by Wilhelm Holmqvist (111-32) while M U and W T Jones (133-87) show how an entire palimpsest of ancient landscapes has been recovered at Mucking. For European Russia the most important recent work is summarised on pp 188-226 (Palaeolithic to medieval sites). Fernand Benoît (227-59) writes of the Celtic oppidum, sanctuary and statues of Entremont, Provence. Pieter Moddermall (260-86) treats the Neolithic site at Elsloo (Netherlands), Laszlo Vértes the Lower Palaeolithic site at Vértesszöllös, Hungary (287-301), and K Jazdzewski the medieval palace of Ostrów Lednicki, Poland (302-35). |
