Double Review: Bringlish Landscapes | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/double-review-bringlish-landscapes
The Archaeology of Agriculture. Double Review: Bringlish Landscapes. September 23, 2014. 8220;That’s a classic,” said the man in the Oxfam shop, tapping the front cover of the little paperback. I nodded in agreement. “I thought it was about time I bought a copy.”. There was a pregnant pause. 8220;That’ll be one ninety-nine,” he intoned. And so it was that I bought a copy of a true classic in the field:. Hoskins, W.G. 1955. The Making of the English Landscape. Pryor, F. 2010. Hoskins quotes extensively fr...

Sorting the sheep from… the other sheep | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2015/05/30/sifting-the-sheep-from-the-other-sheep
The Archaeology of Agriculture. Sorting the sheep from… the other sheep. May 30, 2015. May 30, 2015. Continuing this blog’s impromptu ‘DNA season’, I’d like to flag up another recent article. Now this is ingenious stuff. It made me chuckle with admiration, in an I-wish-I’d-thought-of-that sort of way. First, the problem: historic livestock. How can we know what breeds of livestock were kept in the past? How far back can we trace so-called ‘heritage breeds’? The Past Horizons website has a good summary.

Origins 1: Britain goes nutty? | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/origins-1-britain-goes-nutty
The Archaeology of Agriculture. Origins 1: Britain goes nutty? September 17, 2012. July 14, 2014. Well, what better place to start than Britain itself, home to this blogger, and subject to a recent article in that venerable warhorse. Stevens and Fuller 2012). This article begins by claiming to rewrite the early history of Britain – no small claim! And as a bonus (for me), it’s written by two archaeobotanists, so how could I resist reviewing it here on. And how on earth can we find out? Stevens and Fuller...

Barnstorming in Roman Wiltshire | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/barnstorming-in-roman-wiltshire
The Archaeology of Agriculture. Barnstorming in Roman Wiltshire. August 7, 2015. August 7, 2015. So there they were, poised to knock up a retail distribution centre outside Chippenham, when up pops a Roman barn. Turns out there’s a nationally important Romano-British rural settlement on the site, and Historic England (formerly English Heritage) has scheduled it accordingly – so the development has stopped. This news nugget caught my eye in the latest edition of British Archaeology. You may recall). A...

No spelt, please, we’re Saxon | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/no-spelt-please-were-saxon
The Archaeology of Agriculture. No spelt, please, we’re Saxon. May 26, 2015. May 19, 2015. My guest post from the “Not Just Dormice” blog. Not Just Dormice - Food for Thought. Guest blogger Mark McKerracher considers the fate of foodstuffs after Roman rule. Spelt flakes,’ it read, ‘naturally rich in Romanitas.’. Pah,’ muttered Horsa. ‘Foreign muck.’. Behind this stirring vignette of the birth of England lies a real archaeological conundrum: why didn’t the Anglo-Saxons eat more spelt? 1,005 more words.

Corn-dryers! | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2014/08/09/corn-dryers
The Archaeology of Agriculture. August 9, 2014. There, I’ve said it, and there’s no going back. Familiarity, as the old saw goes, breeds contempt – or at least indifference. I think that sometimes that holds true for archaeology as much as anything else: there are certain topics that feel. Here’s one courtesy of Wessex Archaeology, posted under the Creative Commons. Even for the student/researcher in British archaeology, corn-dryer literature has been rather quiet for a few decades (full references provi...
