Feeding Anglo-Saxon England grain photographs

The Feeding Anglo-Saxon England project (FeedSax), based at the Universities of Oxford and Leicester between 2017 and 2022, investigated the development of agricultural systems in early medieval England, using evidence from environmental archaeology: charred cereal grains, weed seeds, animal bones, and pollen sequences. In the course of its crop stable isotope and radiocarbon dating programmes, and in collaboration with doctoral student Tina Roushannafas, FeedSax collated a huge library of more than 6,000 photographs of charred grain - as a record of the grains used in destructive analysis, but also as a resource for morphometric analysis of charred cereal grains.
