[MR] Fwd: [SCA-Laurels] Cool articles on animal husbandry

[SNSpies at aol.com]

I found  some very interesting articles online dealing with various topics in 
early  animal husbandry.

Of course, I'm mostly interested in the Scandinavian  stuff, but there were 
other interesting articles there and a table of  contents at 
http://www.svenska-institutet-rom.org/pecus/

Here's the  Norse articles:
