Flax-growing in Orkney from the Norse period to the 18th century

Year: 1988
Type: article
Abstract: New material from excavations at Pool, Sanday, stimulates an examination of the botany, cultivation, and processing of flax, together with its value in early subsistence economies. Rather than having been introduced in the 18th century, flax cultivation may have taken place from the Norse period to modern times. Au (adp A R)
