Let' s go to our favorite book store and see if this book (see below) mentions Croatia - and how accurate it is. I hope the author read "Croatia in the Early Middle Ages", and that it even prompted his research! In the latest (July/August) issue of Archaeology magazine is anadvertisement for a new book "The early Slavs - Culture and Society in Early Medieval Eastern Europe ". It states that "More than 270 million people in Europe speak one of the many Slavic languages and dialects, but the origins and development of Slavic culture are still among the most difficult problems facing archaeologists. P.M. Bradford's book is a remarkably comprehensive and accessible synthesis of the most recent archaeological discoveries, linguistic research, and
literary-historical evidence about the origins of the Slavs.
