This chapter examines the processes of transformation that took place in the Roman West between the third and fifth centuries AD, with particular reference to the case of the Alamanni. More precisely, it discusses the historic processes and corresponding archaeological remains in the region between the rivers Main and Rhine and the Danube valley in what is known today as southern Germany. Specific sites such as military facilities, urban and rural settlements, and hoards and cemeteries from late antiquity and the early migration period are explored. The chapter concludes by citing archaeological evidence showing the early Alamanni experiencing profound changes in infrastructure and local organization as well as its continued integration into the Roman Empire’s system of border defence.

AbstractThis article investigates the origin and history of two names dating from late Antiquity or the migration period. The first is the personal name Tufa, the second is the tribal name Armilausini. The two names can be traced back to a corresponding Germanic loan word in the Latin military language, tufa and armilausia, respectively, both of which are continued in the military language of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empire. The names are based on the appellative nouns. Both the appellatives and, even more so, the names turn out to be characteristic products of the multilingual background of the Roman military, as they show several signs of linguistic interference such as lexical reanalysis / folk etymology, morphological remodelling and semantic specialization.

AbstractThe author1 discusses some questions on the transformation of Roman identity in the south-eastern Alps and the neighbouring regions, which in late Antiquity represented an area of constant transition. How people dealt with quickly changing powers is an important point of view in the identity discourse, not so much the identity of an individual, but of a population. In the discussed territory it seems Roman identity, such as it was, gradually became something we read as mostly Mediterranean and Christian. It probably goes beyond the kingdoms that followed Rome and most probably even beyond strict ‘Roman-ness’.

Investigations concerning the mutual contacts between Scandinavia and the south-eastern Baltic zone in the Early Migration Period should be combined with careful chronological studies, otherwise it is not possible to point out the source of inspiration and the direction of contacts. A barrier limited such studies still remains the differences in chronological systems used by the researchers from both sides of the Baltic Sea. The author has proposed the synchronisation of Balt-Scandinavian chronology based on the most common phenomenon in Europe in the Early Migration Period, namely the stamp ornamentation. But instead of rather amorphous styles the horizons of certain artefacts decorated in these styles, Samland and Sosdala horizons, have been distinguished and analysed. The author established the relative chronological sequence of individual artefacts within the Sosdala and Samland horizons. There are three phases of each horizon. In absolute dating the beginning of horizons in question could be placed in the 2nd half of the 4lh c., while their ending in mid 5lh c. Basing on such a framework it was possible to establish the sequences of both Scandinavian and Balt artefacts correlated to each other. It was possible to distinguish six phases: phase 0 preceding the appearance of the Samland and Sosdala horizons, phases 1-3 synchronic with these horizons and phases 4—5 succeeding the horizons in question. The above sequence of phases may be fitted within the interregional chronological framework.

Pottery Kiln

The History and Geography Faculty of the „Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chişinău (Moldova), the Römisch-Germanische Kommission des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Frankfurt am Main (Germany), and the Bonn University has continued during Summer 2015 the investigation of a late Roman/early Migration period settlement of the Sântana-de-MureşCulture (c. AD 230 - 430/450) on the southern slope of the Cubolta Valley at Putinești, raionul Florești. The site is part of an area of settlement some 9,0 km long on the eastern edge of the Cubolta-valley, an area intensively colonized already in prehistoric times (Neolithic, Bronze Age). The Late Antiquity settlement is already known from previous fieldwork. During the last year, geomagnetic prospections and aerial photogrammetry procedures were performed. A two-chamber pottery-kiln for specialized production of the characteristic wheel-made pottery was detected during the geomagnetic prospection and documented in drill profiles.
