We analysed excavations, research projects and publications over a timespan of ten years and recorded their chronological focus and spatial distribution. Early Medieval excavations are rare. However many publications and research projects dealing with this period are written and/or carried out. From a spatial point of view, most regions in Austria are represented equally – one exception is Vorarlberg.
For future research more excavations on Early Medieval sites would be desirable.
Obviously this period is very interesting for the scholarly community, as the projects and publications show. More state of the art excavations would lead to more sources and be the foundation for further discussion.

of the medieval findings and features as well as the human remains unearthed on Oberleiserberg are part of the international project Frontier, Contact Zone or No Man’s Land — The MoravaThaya Region from the Early to the High Medieval Ages (I 1911 G21, led by Stefan Eichert and
Jiří Macháček funded by FWF (Austrian Science Fund) and GAČR (Czech Science Foundation).
The early and high medieval findings indicate contact of the entombed population with nonnative peoples, possibly reaching as far as the Baltic Sea. Anthropological analysis of the excavated skeletons shows us more about the everyday life of the people buried here and together with
isotopic analysis of the human remains, conclusions about their living conditions are possible. K e y w o r d s: Early Middle Ages; middle Danube area; Lower Austria; Frontier organization;
burial grounds; isotopic analysis

However, in the past they usually had a very different function and status. This article introduces one bilateral mobility project between the archaeological departments at the University of Vienna and the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, aimed at facilitating more focused early medieval archaeological research in the region along the lower stretches of the Morava River. The article introduces the region, its history and state of research and describes the role of the project, the team and the project results obtained up to date.
