The Early Germans

Malcolm Todd (2004)
"The Early Germans"
Second edition

For many centuries Germanic peoples occupied
much of northern and central Europe. From the
fourth century onward migrant groups extended
their power and influence over much of western
Europe and beyond to North Africa. In doing so,
they established enduring states in France,
Spain, Italy and Britain.
This illustrated book makes use of
archaeological and literary sources to outline the
ethnogenesis and history of the early Germanic
peoples. It provides an overview of current
knowledge of these peoples, their social
structure, settlements, trade, customs, religion,
craftsmanship and relations with the Roman
Empire.

In this second edition, the author incorporates
important new archaeological evidence and
reports on advances in historical interpretation.
In particular, he offers new insights into
developments in central and eastern Europe and
the implications for our understanding of
migration and settlement patterns, ethnicity and
identity. Ten new plates have been added
featuring significant new sites discovered in
recent years.

The first chapter "Land and People" is free
