For about 60 years, the archaeology of the Middle Ages has been pursued as a separate research discipline in Baden-Württemberg. This book is the first to present a synopsis of the results of research to date and the questions that remain unanswered. The authors go back to the first evidence of Christian architecture and trace the development to the important monasteries on the eve of the Reformation. They fathom the early development of the palaces and towns, with skeletons and food waste revealing much information about the diet, economy and beliefs of the population of the time. Newly discovered walls, pits and finds provide insights into everyday life in the countryside and castles. They also bear witness to the hardships and ingenious inventions in mining, navigation and crafts. Extensive bibliographical references for further reading complement the volume and, with many photos and plans, make it a handbook of medieval archaeology in Baden-Württemberg.
