Medieval Adaptation, Settlement and Economy of a Coastal Wetland

This volume reports on a pioneering and complex project, and should be very helpful in the planning of any similar, future work. The results confirm much of what previous research had only suggested, and the book is an important addition to the archaeological assessment of marshlands.' ~Jill Eddison, Landscape History, 30.2, 2009

...this is a book worthy of being taken seriously, not only as an exemplary report of a significant archaeological find but also as a genuine historical study that can provide fodder for further research on both the region of the Kentish coastal marshes in the Middle Ages and the peasant communities who lived there.' ~Linda E. Mitchell, University of Missouri–Kansas City, Journal of British Studies 49:1, 2010

This is a report of great interest that shows how valuable research can be achieved through developer-funded archaeology.' ~Stephen Rippon, Journal of Medieval Archaeology, vol 53, 2009

...prompts some new thoughts about livestock husbandry in an area where husbandmen needed to take into account several factors peculiar to marshland farming.' ~Rosamond Faith, Journal and Annual Report of the Medieval Settlement Research Group, vol 23, 2008
