Eric Breuer

Eric Breuer is a Swiss archaeologist and historian.

He studied archaeology and history at the Universities of Munich, Vienna, Fribourg and Basel. He discovered the Roman vicus of Eriskirch (Lake Constance), and conducted widespread research on early Medieval archaeology, archaeology of Roman provinces, Avar archaeology, and Mediterranean history.His main interest was the relative chronology of Roman and early medieval times.

The main idea of his book about Danubian small findings ("Byzanz an der Donau") is, that every discussion about small findings should be a discussion about the economical sites of process of production - and not ethnic conclusions. As a result also chronological horizons get at Breuer's work the meaning of starting, increasing, decline and end of fabrications.
