LIVING OFF THE LAND: AGRICULTURE IN WALES C. 400-1600 AD

by Rhiannon Comeau; Andy Seaman

Published by Windgather Press Ltd.. 1st. 2019

Nearly fine condition. A book on medieval agricultre in Wales, presenting evidence which is of considerable relevance to those studying the development of the early medieval landscapes of Britain and Ireland. A collection of essays, edited by Rhiannon Comeau and Andy Seaman, confronting the paradox that, though agriculture lay at the heart of medieval society, undertstanding of what this meant for Wales remains limited. B/w and a few colour maps. xii and 236 pages including index plus colour maps to rear.

A very nice copy indeed.
