Samenvatting:

33 essays take various archaeological approaches to the study of arts and crafts in the medieval village, from small-scale domestic production, to what might more reasonably be termed industries. The papers range all over Europe in geographical scope, with a focus perhaps more on eastern Europe and Scandinavia than western Europe. Papers look at pottery, textiles, bone carving, iron smelting and charcoal burning, and more general questions of the place of the peasant-artisan in the medieval economy.
