Documentary Archaeology of Late Medieval Europe (DALME)
The Documentary Archaeology of Late Medieval Europe project consists of over 500 records of material culture relating to late medieval Europe. Records include household inventories, wills, descriptions, and sometimes the items themselves. The site is frequently updated with objects and lists of the month, which include essays on a variety of objects from around Europe.
The project seeks guest collaborators and discuss objects.
