Abstract

This paper considers how the changing layout of settlements between c. 400-900 in the region between southern Scandinavia and the Netherlands reflects important socio-economic developments. These changes can be observed both at the level of the individual farmstead, and within settlements as a whole. "Rules" for the layout out of farmsteads and villages become particularly pronounced in the eighth and ninth centuries, suggesting that social roles may have become more circumscribed as the structure of rural production altered with the emergence of the carolingian and scandinavian hegemonies.
