The barbarians who destroyed the glory that was Rome demolished civilisation along with it, and for the next four centuries the peasants and artisans of Europe barley held on. Random violence, mass migration, desease and starvation were the only ways of life. This is the picture of the Dark Ages that most historians promote - but archaeology tells a different story. Peter Wells surveys the archaeological record to demonstrate that the Dark Ages were not so dark at all.
