This collection of studies is the result of a six-year interdisciplinary research project undertaken by an international team of archaeologists, historians, numismatists and paleobotanists. It constitutes a completely new approach to environmental, cultural and settlement changes during the Migration Period in Central Europe.
Part One discusses written sources, theories regarding migration, and environmental change in the first millennium AD. In Part Two, archaeological sources relating to Central Europe in the Migration Period are analysed, while Part Three is devoted to new discoveries between the Oder and the Vistula, including traces of Germanic settlement in northern Poland in the early seventh century. In Part Four, evidence for cultural and settlement changes in neighbouring areas is characterized in a comparative light.

"Ceea ce înseamnă că astfel de proiecte sunt extrem de necesare, iar cercetările pluridisciplinare trebuie în continuare dezvoltate și încurajate abordările comparative, atât la nivel micro, cât și macroregional. În final, recomand aceste volume tuturor celor interesați de arheologia și istoria perioadei migrației în Europa și a tranziției de la antichitatea târzie la Evul Mediu timpuriu. Lucrarea este valoroasă atât prin actualitatea, noutatea și originalitatea fiecărui studiu în parte, cât și prin exemplul de finalitate a unui proiect de amploare realizat de colegii polonezi". Sergiu MUSTEATA, in Plural, 8 (2), 2020.
ENG:"This means that such projects are indeed necessary, and multidisciplinary studies must continue and comparative approaches must be encouraged, both at a micro- and at a macro-regional level. In the end, I recommend those volumes to all those interested in the archaeology and history of the migration period in Europe and in the transition from Late Antiquity to the early Middle Ages. This work is valuable both for the novelty and originality of each contribution and for being an example of what a large-scale project carried out by our colleagues in Poland can produce."
