The Germanic societies of the Middle Danube region during the Roman Period have long been the subject of archaeological research. The available data is extensive, diverse, and scattered across various published sources. This publication focuses on comprehensive and unprecedented heuristics of archaeological data within the ‘Marcomannic’ settlement zone (Moravia, Lower Austria, and the Slovakian Záhorie region). The depth and scope of the collected data enable a quantitative examination of key activity areas (residential and funerary), specific contexts, and individual artefacts to assess various aspects of potential development trajectories of Germanic societies in the region. The book, using quantitative methodology, presents an analysis of spatial distribution (particularly Roman-origin imports), a social anthropological perspective, demographic conditions in the region, and offers a new perspective on the social structures and interactions of Germanic communities in the ‘Marcomannic’ settlement zone.
