Une Residence Des Comtes D'Angouleme Autour De L'an Mil: Le Castrum D'andone Villejoubert, Charente. Publication Des Fouilles D'andre Debord 1971-1995

The natural Andone outcrop was greatly changed by the installation of a castrum in the second half of the 10th century. The objects that were used and disposed of on the site bear witness to a large range of activities, from war games to festive feasts exploiting the domain, from local metallurgy to long distance trade. In this monograph, they are used to create a superb reference collection that is richly illustrated and relocates it within a western European setting to allow a better understanding of the daily life of powerful 10th century people.
