Abstract (en)

Suggests that the archaeological evidence of material culture of the 4th-9th cs. from urban levels in northwestern Italy reveals not only decline but also a period of transformation in which some techniques were lost but others were preserved and transmitted. Discusses modes of construction and habitation, and notes an intensification in the production of vessels in glass, metal, wood, and soapstone offsetting the decline in pottery.
