Footnotes

Antiquity reported last year the locating of Quentovic, one of the lost trading centres of the early medieval period in northern Europe. The finding of pottery kilns at La Londe, not so far away near Rouen, identifies another source of traded goods, and further explains the pattern of North Sea and Channel traffic.
