Congratulations on this publication. I’ll order a copy for myself and one for the ULB. I am really looking forward to having a look at it. Hope you’re doing well.

Armed with a powerful new dataset, "Farming Transformed" explores fundamental questions about the minutiae of early medieval farming and their wider historical context. What does wheat chaff have to do with lordship and the market economy? What connects ovens in Roman Germany with barley maltings in early medieval Northamptonshire? And just how interested were Saxon nuns in cultivating the opium poppy...? Best wishes, Mark Dr Mark McKerracher PDRA, University of Oxford
