Resources for Dark Age Studies

in Europe and the Mediterranean littoral

All study of the past is based on the interpretation of the
sources available-written or unwritten evidence- and the making of inferences from them
What you can find out is naturally conditioned by the nature of the sources----

Stuart Piggott-- Approach to Archaeology 1959

On this site links will be to unwritten evidence available on the internet for study of
the Sixth Century AD
necessarily including evidence from previous and following centuries

Such as-

Maps ancient and modern

General web sites on Late Roman cities, harbours, military structures

Climate data from dendrochronoly, ice cores, vegetational remains, shifting shorelines.etc.

The geomorphological evidence for volcanic eruptions and flows, earthquakes, desertification etc.
