This collection of twenty-nine papers, from a conference that accompanied the exhibition Otto der Grosse, Magdeburg und Europa at the Magdeburg Museum, reflects on the archaeological evidence for this transitional period in Europe's history. Illustrated throughout, the papers include case studies, archaeological methodologies and discussions of more general regions or themes that affected 10th-century Europe, from Scandinavia and Britain to Spain, Poland and the Alps. Papers are all translated into German.
