These developments have sometimes been referred to as marking an ?agricultural revolution?, yet the nature and timing of these critical changes remain subject to intense debate, despite more than a century of research. The papers in this volume demonstrate how the combined application of cutting-edge scientific analyses, along with new theoretical models and challenges to conventional understandings, can reveal trajectories of agricultural development which, while complementary overall, do not indicate a single period of change involving the extension of arable, the introduction of the mouldboard plough, and regular crop rotation. Rather, these phenomena become evident at different times and in different places across England throughout the period, and rarely in an unambiguously ?progressive? fashion. Presenting innovative bioarchaeological research from the ground-breaking Feeding Anglo-Saxon England project, along with fresh insights into ploughing technology, brewing, the nature of agricultural revolutions, and farming practices in Roman Britain and Carolingian Europe, this volume is a critical new contribution to environmental archaeology and medieval studies in England and beyond. 517 $aNew Perspectives on the Medieval ?Agricultural Revolution? 517 $aNew Perspectives on the Medieval ‘Agricultural Revolution’ 606 $aMedieval history$2bicssc 606 $aMedieval European archaeology$2bicssc 606 $aLandscape archaeology$2bicssc 606 $aEngland$2bicssc 606 $ac 500 CE to c 1000 CE$2bicssc 610 $aarchaeological science; environmental archaeology; agricultural history; field systems; early medieval 615 7$aMedieval history 615 7$aMedieval European archaeology 615 7$aLandscape archaeology 615 7$aEngland 615 7$ac 500 CE to c 1000 CE 676 $a630.940902 700 $aHamerow$b Helena$0622528 701 $aMcKerracher$b Mark$01273149 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597155303321 996 $aNew Perspectives on the Medieval 'Agricultural Revolution$92999783 997 $aUNINA
