Summary: Both researchers tried to create a general view on Croatian early medieval history (from 6th to 12th centuries) which would include various facets of everyday acitivity: politics, military efforts, economy, arts and creation of specific medieval mentality. It is an attempt to formulate a characteristic understanding of this period of Croatian history which would include a decisive move from DESCRIPTION towards EXPLANATION, from description of predominantly political facts towards explation of processes, i. e. "total history". In the center of interest is a human being and his activity in Early Middle Ages in Croatia. We thinks that book written by I. Goldstein "Croatian Early Middle Ages" includes most of abovementioned characteristics.

Keywords: Croatian history, Early middle ages, Croatia, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Slavonia, Istria, Bosnia, Dubrovnik, Trpimir, Domagoj, Branimir, Tomislav, Držislav, Petar Krešimir IV, Dimitrije Zvonimir, Petar Svačić.

Research goals: Formulating a general view of Croatian early middle ages which would include all facets of everyday activity and historical development. It was necessary to write, before writing a "synthesis", a relevant number of shorter papers, which would help to clarify certain historical problem. A text of "synthesis" has also been written (I. Goldstein: Croatian Early Middle Ages). Shorter papers were also a way to define principles of historical investigation of late Antiquity and early middle ages in Croatia.
