Recenzii

Richard Hodges' Dark Age Economics: The Origins of Towns and Trade (1982) was one of the most influential and provocative works on early medieval archaeology in the latter part of the 20th century . . . Dark Age Economics: A New Audit sees Hodges survey the impact of his work and summarise his current thinking on the issues that it raised. For each, it makes for a stimulating and thought-provoking read . . . [The book] provides an extraordinary wealth of ideas for further cogitation; like its predecessor, it deserves to be read and discussed extensively.
This is a distinguished archaeologist's overview of the current assessment of the early medieval economy since his Dark Age Economics: The Origins of Towns and Trade AD 600-1000 (1982) . Perhaps of greatest interest to readers will be Chapter 4, which reports recent scholarship on monasteries, focusing on San Vincenzo at Volturno in Beneventum as it adjusted its production to its changing environment in the eighth and ninth centuries.
