A cross-craft approach to ceramic, glass and iron in the Early Middle Ages. The resources of workshops from southern Belgium.

Résumé

During the Early Middle Ages in northwestern Europe, ceramics, glass and iron, underwent profound changes. The production places moved from the Merovingian agglomerations to aristocratic rural domains, monasteries as well as emporia and at the same time, these crafts experienced major technical changes. Even though these modifications are attested, the factors involved are still largely unknown. Beginning with the raw materials, this paper offers a first look at these crafts and their potential interactions because they could have been one of the triggers of innovation. Based on the locations of natural resources and on the one of the secondary workshops known in the current territory of Wallonia, the environmental and social factors determining settlement patterns are considered.
