Between 2017 and 2022, the FeedSax team assembled and interrogated a vast bioarchaeological dataset, to obtain a new perspective on the pivotal agricultural innovations of the medieval period in England. This dataset, together with a wealth of supporting documentation, has now been published as an open-access digital resource, not only to serve as supplementary material underpinning the FeedSax publications, but in the hope that it will be used in future projects.
The main FeedSax Digital Archive, hosted by the Archaeology Data Service (https://doi.org/10.5284/1057492), contains 123 files, including 26 radiocarbon dating reports, a technical paper on stable isotope variability, palynological syntheses, 215 pages of archaeobotanical analysis, and ‘Haystack’: the project’s core database comprising archaeological, archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological, radiocarbon, and crop and animal isotope data. The core elements of Haystack can be queried through an interactive map-based interface, while the complete raw datasets are also available to download. In addition, the FeedSax Photographic Archive, hosted by the University of Oxford’s Sustainable Digital Scholarship service (https://portal.sds.ox.ac.uk/feedsax), contains 6,599 microscope photographs of charred grains, constituting both a record of destructively analysed material and a resource for future geometric morphometric studies.
We encourage you to delve into FeedSax’s abundant harvest of digital data, and build on our results to gain fresh insights in medieval studies, agricultural history, and environmental archaeology.

The digital archive is an amazing resource, though we say so ourselves! We look forward to receiving feedback from users.
