Abstract
Recognition of medieval archaeology as a distinct field, worthy of study in its own right, began in France in the 1950s when Michel de Bouard established the Centre de Recherches Archeologiques Medievales (CRAM) at the Universite de Caen.' Development of the field accelerated in the 1960s with the establishment of the Laboratoire d'Archeologie Medievale under the direction of Gabrielle Demians d'Archimbaud at the Universite de ProvenceAix and with the creation of formal academic programs at Caen, Aix, and several other universities. It is important to note that the development of medieval archaeology in France occurred regionally and that research and study programs were initiated with a strong regional focus. For example, Aix concentrated on deserted villages, early monasteries, and ceramics, while Caen focused on Frankish cemeteries and medieval castles. The appearance in 1971 of the annual bulletin Archeologie m'dievale marked a watershed for the field. Archeologie m'dievale, first published by CRAM, began in 1973 to receive subvention from the Centre National de Recherches
