Memoirs
One function of the journal has been to publish short memoirs of the early days of post-classical archaeology in the 1970s when medieval and later archaeology was just beginning to become respectable. Bryan Ward-Perkins has written in Volume 1 about his early days in Italy, just after he had graduated from Oxford, and the struggle that post-Roman archaeology faced from the academic establishment. David Andrews has written also of the 1970s and the development of new archaeological techniques like the Harris matrix, and the novelty of medieval archaeology in Italy. Both have written of the significance of the forerunner journal Archeologia Medievale, first published 1974.
Andrzej Buko has written about early medieval archaeology in Poland (Vol. 2 2012) and Barbara Scholkmann on the research history of medieval archaeology in Germany (Vol. 3 2013).
