Subject: [ARCHAEOBOTANY] Corn-drying and malting ovens
Dear colleagues,
I am researching corn-drying and malting ovens in Anglo-Saxon England, and wondered whether any of you had encountered such structures elsewhere in north-western Europe in the early medieval period? (with or without attendant plant remains!)
I'd be very grateful for any leads.
Thanks!
