The ‘Late Avar reform’ and the ‘long eighth century’: A tale of the hesitation between structural transformation and the persistent nomadic traditions (7<sup>th</sup>to 9<sup>th</sup>century AD)
Gergely Szenthe
Research on late antique and early medieval economic social processes during the past three decades called for, enabled, a fresh look at history of ‘Late Avar period’ Carpathian Basin, corresponding exactly to ‘long eighth century’ Mediterranean European world. This paper offers rather sketchy new model, alongside raising questions framing research programme focusing historical processes. Therefore, using archaeological evidence as solid foundation, I have proposed set hypotheses starting points for regional micro-regional studies.
