Description

This project looks at the effects of the production of mead in Northern European cultures during the early medieval period. Mead, a wine made from honey, was widely produced and consumed because of a scarcity of grapes and cultivated grains for alcoholic beverages. This project examines what cultural and social systems were developed to support the production and use of mead, who made it, who consumed it, and what was its effect on societies?
