Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Remains of Esox lucius (pike) are familiar to archaeologists working on medieval European sites, but the attention medieval Europeans gave to the capture and culture of this species is revealed in different ways by extant written records. Until the fourteenth century chance references by the literate minority suggest something of how the then-illiterate majority had learned to obtain pike. Widening of practical literacy during the later Middle Ages resulted in intentional written compilations of this information. The kinds, purposes and contents of the texts changed. By the sixteenth century a body of European knowledge about catching and rearing pike had become part of a cumulative literate culture. | ||||||
