Abstract:
A collection of new assessments of original sources and archaeological finds for specific types of materials used to produce consumer goods in the middle ages. Each section considers the acquisition, working and sale as a finished product of a particular material. The specialized work that went to make the housing, clothing, tools, vessels and ornaments of medieval people is described in detail, showing the skills, practices, careers and organization of the craftsmen in their guilds.
