Abstract
Navigating Early Medieval Europe (NEME) is a product of the Rural Riches (The post-Roman economic development of North-western Europe (450-640)), project financed by the European Research Council (ERC advanced grant no 741340). Rural Riches is an archaeological project aimed at studying the nature of the economic development in Northwestern Europe (Northern Gaul) after the collapse of the Roman State. It is based on an ERC Advanced Grant to the principle investigator prof. dr. Frans Theuws. The main research question of the project is: What role did the mass of the rural population play in the post-Roman economic development in north-western Europe and what was the nature of that economy? It is our hypothesis that it is rather them than the elite who trigger economic growth. Such research is not possible without creating a new overview of Merovingian sites in Northern Gaul. Such an overview did not exist and the team members set themselves the task of creating a new comprehensive, interdisciplinary database on archaeological sites, historical attestations and inscriptions. Moreover, a lot of data was recorded on various aspects of those sites including several types of finds, characteristics of the burial rites, settlement features etc. This portal allows to enter this database.
