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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e Presenting innovative bioarchaeological research from the ground-breaking \u003ci\u003eFeeding Anglo-Saxon England project\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: Amy Bogaard; Hannah Caroe; Neil Faulkner; Emily Forster; Helena Hamerow; Matilda Holmes; Claus Kropp; Lisa Lodwick; Mark McKerracher; Nicolas Schroeder; Elizabeth Stroud; Tom Williamson. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelena Hamerow is Professor of Early Medieval Archaeology at the School of Archaeology, University of Oxford.
