This is the first book to examine the late Byzantine peasantry
through written, archaeological, ethnographic and painted sources.
Investigations of the infrastructure and setting of the medieval
village guide the reader into the consideration of specific
populations. The village becomes a micro-society, with its own
social and economic hierarchies. In addition to studying
agricultural workers, mothers and priests, lesser-known
individuals, such as the miller and witch, are revealed through
written and painted sources. Placed at the center of a new
scholarly landscape, the study of the medieval villager engages a
broad spectrum of theorists, including economic historians creating
predictive models for agrarian economies, ethnoarchaeologists
addressing historical continuities and disjunctions, and scholars
examining power and female agency.
