The Making of the Slavs: History and Archaeology of the Lower Danube Region c. 500-700 is a work about early Slavic history by Florin Curta and published in 2001 by Cambridge University Press. It introduces a new approach about the ethnogenesis of the early Slavs, especially in Southeastern Europe, advancing a hypothesis that the early Slavic identity was an invention of the Byzantine Empire on the Danubian Limes, and with Slavic language it spread without mass migration from Slavic Urheimat.
A new revised version of the work was published as Slavs in the Making: History, Linguistics, and Archaeology in Eastern Europe (ca. 500-ca. 700) in 2020 by Routledge, as "another attempt to convince the skeptical scientific community of the viability of a postmodern interpretation of the early medieval Slavs".
