Summary
Late antique and early medieval monasticism emerged in many different forms, both in institutional terms and in terms of the organization of the communities. This plurality had a significant influence on the physical structures of the monasteries, although our knowledge is somewhat limited by the scarcity of archaeological remains. In both Italy and France, archaeological research has traditionally focused on the sacred buildings of these sites at the expense of the quotidian structures. Furthermore, aside from a few rare examples, the panorama of sites for which we have evidence for the earliest monasteries remains incomplete.
