Tradition und Transfer in spatgermanischer Zeit: Suddeutsches, englisches und skandinavisches Fundgut des 6. Jahrhunderts

This study explores the various aspects of cultural exchange between three find areas (Southern Germany, England and Scandinavia) during the transition from the Migration Period to the Early Middle Ages. The author reflects on the cultural terms used in various disciplines and presents a theory of space which views man as a social-cultural being who continually reconstructs his spheres of action. This leads to an enhanced understanding of the archaeological concept of culture.
