Frankish

Also known as: Frankish
Scope note: This term is used for the archaeological period 440/450 - c. 500. This chronology is based on the research of scholars Jean Soulat and Patrick Périn, and the chronological phasing of the Frankish and Merovingian periods given in the following work: R. Legoux, P. Périn and F. Vallet (2009), Chronologie normalisée du mobilier funéraire mérovingien entre Manche et Loire, 3rd edn., Bulletin de liaison de l’Association française d’Archéologie mérovingienne. The Frankish archaeological period begins in Legoux et al’s chronological phase ‘PM’ (440/450 to 470/480) and ends in ‘MA1’ (c. 470/480 to c. 520/530), specifically in the early part of this phase, c. 500.
