The 'Ruralia', Volume 10, includes 27 papers dealing with agrarian technologies in the medieval landscape as seen in different European countries. The subject areas included cultivation, livestock husbandry, gardening, viticulture and woodland management - interpreting the concept of agrarian production in a broad sense - studied mainly on the basis of archaeology, but also using iconography, documentary evidence and archaeo-environmental approaches. The 'Ruralia', Volume 10, marks an important step on the way towards interpreting innovation, as well as understanding the varieties of agrarian activity from a Europe-wide perspective.
