Materiality of Odors: Experiencing Church Burials and the Urban Environment in an Early Modern Northern Swedish Town (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Bright. Stephen Lubkemann. Daniel Brown. Dave Conlin.

Of particular interest was the fact that many of the key structural elements of the vessel, including its keel, were made from a very atypical wood type: Betula sp. (birch). These findings alone raise compelling...
