Entre francos y visigodos
Summary
In order to place in context the study of the few 4th? 9th century artistic remains that have remained in Vasconia, the author begins his essay with a diagrammatic panorama of the history of that time. He then carries out his study by attempting to explain the strange silence that archaeology has maintained on those centuries. The whole of the artistic works are grouped in two sectors: those for ornamentation on useful objects of Wisigoth or Franc arts and crafts, unearthed in necropolis, like belt buckles, clasps, knives, weapons and liturgical pieces. The second group comprises objects from Wisigoth hermit dwellings, most of which have been dug up in the mountain ranges of Alava. Researchers have recently studied these objects and have discovered numerous signs of early medieval religious life in the Basque Country.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
