| Publisher Description: This archaeological study analyses the clothing remains and material culture from church cemeteries across Hungary, to determine the various factors which influenced the use and meaning of clothing items during a period which saw the Ottoman conquest of a significant proportion of the country. Dora Menai rejects ethnicity as a single or even dominant factor determining dress, stressing the complex interaction of a range of factors including trade cultural exchange and social status. |
