Chaotic, would be the word I would choose.

There are a lot of key words I might use to describe the emergence of the Early Middle Ages. The Early Middle Ages began when the West was well into a time of decline. Literacy had begun to decline in the third century. The power of the central government, which was nearly gone in the third century, had been reestablished in the fourth, only to be lost to foreign invaders in the fifth. Art, of course, had gone the way of literacy. Western Europe had been carved up into half a dozen emerging kingdoms.

The East Roman Empire survived this, but if it was not chaotic, then it was at least under the threat of chaos while the Middle Ages were beginning.

I presume you are referring to " The Dark Ages". It was called The Dark Ages because of the lack of science, development and -some would say- culture during this period.
