The Archaeology of early medieval (6<sup>th</sup>-12<sup>th</sup> century) rural settlements in France

Abstract: Initial findings and early research The first discoveries of early medieval rural settlement remains in France date back to the late nineteenth century. They mainly revealed Sunken-Feature Buildings (SFB) (Vauvillé 1894; Robert 1905; Forrer 1937). It was not until 1949 that the subject of Merovingian settlements was clearly discussed in Volume I of La civilisation mérovingienne written by the renowned scientist Edouard Salin (Salin 1949). In this work, archaeological examples are few and E. Salin primarily rel… Show more

“…Archaeological evidence at sampled sites reveals the presence of frequent postholes and foundations carved out on the sedimentary outcrop and the use of wood as building material. Both pieces of evidence are comparable to those of other early medieval rural settlements (Peytremann, 2012). Although information about the inner composition of these nuclei is scarce, extensive examination of this evidence suggests that habitat structures are scattered around the church and the cemetery as milestones for the holy space.…”

“…Uno de los problemas centrales del estudio del hábitat rural entre los siglos V y IX gira en torno a la individualización de viviendas y edificaciones diversas construidas con materiales perecederos, fundamentalmente tierra y madera (Hamerow 2012;Peytremann 2012;Vigil-Escalera 2003), y a la relación que se establece entre esta transformación del sistema constructivo y las dinámicas socioeconómicas propias del momento.…”
