Abstract
Medieval waterways and hydraulic economics; monasteries, towns and the East Anglian fen
Duncan Sayer
134 - 150
Compares recent excavations at Swavesey and Burwell, and attempts to demonstrate that, while the letter of Wittfogel's classification of a 'hydraulic society' is not applicable to medieval England, aspects of it can be used to understand regional communities and wetland environments.
