Experimental archaeology and the study of early medieval farming by Hamerow, H, Kropp, C, Bogaard, A

“…A group of archaeologists and archaeological scientists, in a collaboration with the Lauresham Open Air Laboratory for Experimental Archaeology in Lorsch, Germany, are conducting a series of farming experiments to establish what was, and was not, possible using replicas of tools and technologies used in the past. While it is not possible exactly to replicate past conditions, such experiments allow us to test the feasibility of certain interpretations through cultivation trials in which variables such as manuring, tillage methods, soil types, labour inputs, etc. are carefully measured and controlled to establish impact on soil fertility, yields, etc.…”
