Herd und Ofen im Mittelalter
Untersuchungen zur Kulturgeschichte am archaologischen Material vomehmlich der Nordwestschweiz (9.-14. Jahrhundert)
It is very often the smaller and less spectacular evidence of human activity that gives us the best insight into the everyday lives of people from long-forgotten eras – insight that cannot be gained by studying written sources or works of art. This book uses pottery, the most important and abundant finds category, as the main source in an attempt to retrace the history of the hearth and stove. To do this, the author has recorded and analysed the mostly unpublished finds from almost one hundred excavations carried out at castles and other medieval sites. Based on these finds and features, he has been able to reconstruct the development of the hearth and stove.
