Abstract:
Long review. Applebaum's contribution on RB agriculture is "an extraordinary tour de force (using) every scrap of evidence (from) nearly 420 excavated sites"; but the shortcomings of this evidence are not fully indicated. He has demonstrated the readiness of the RB farmers to exploit heavy soils, and he notes the climatic deterioration (beginning in 2nd century, at a peak in 5th century) which may have helped induce the economic collapse. He remains cautiously conservative on the problem of continuity, whereas Finberg favours continuity perhaps more than the evidence allows, since it is clear that after the decline the AS farmer often had to begin "quite literally from scratch". Jones and Finberg both concentrate largely on social rather than strictly practical agricultural aspects, but Jones also has some useful points on practice.
