Beskrivning

This text is an attempt to blend traditional empirical, objective archaeological analysis with the study of changing patterns of landscapes and, through them, people and places and the relationships between them. The author focuses on late Iron Age southern Scandinavia through to early medieval polity of Denmark, a time of regional transformation from many autonomous, complex, middle-range societies into a unified, centralized state.

'...most innovative book-length treatment...provides one of the best current examples of the value of the sort of landscape-focused syncretism of processual and postprocessual approaches. ...clearly and effectively written, the illustrations are excellent and the bibliography is particularly valuable for those wanting more on recent Scandinavian archaeology. ...I would urge all interested in state formation, chiefly societies, and the interaction of archaeology and history to read the whole book. This is an important work, required reading for area specialists, and a provocative model for researchers elsewhere.' American Anthropologist, 104:4 (2002)
