AAA Stephan's Florilegium
A compilation of email posts on subjects ranging from cookery, clothing, cloth, persona development, leatherwork, and armor, to spices, sources, articles, hairdressing, woodworking, tents, and calligraphy. Remember, these are gathered emails from vaious lists; most are reliable, some are not so reliable - while Stephan does a good job sorting, he can't (and doesn't) check everyone's sources.

Little Ice Age
Webpage of a physical sciences professor on the 'little ice age' that took place during the SCA's time period. Western Europe experienced a general cooling of the climate between the years 1150 and 1460 and a very cold climate between 1560 and 1850 that brought dire consequences to its peoples. The colder weather impacted agriculture, health, economics, social strife, emigration, and even art and literature. Increased glaciation and storms also had a devastating affect on those that lived near glaciers and the sea.

wari-bateshwar one of earliest kingdoms
For nearly seventy years scholars had been aware of the surface finds of silver punch-marked coins, semi-precious stone beads, iron slags, pottery etc. from the twin villages of Wari-Bateshwar, Narsingdi district, Bangladesh. As no systematic archaeological investigation had been carried out so far in the region, The International Centre for Study of Bengal Art (ICSBA) undertook, with permission from the Government, a small scale trial excavation which was carried out in 2000. The exercise offered significant result. It placed Wari in the Early Historic period. NBPW, Rouletted Ware and Knobbed Ware were found in this remote eastern part of Bangladesh. A large number of chips, flakes and cores from excavation and a few pieces of raw material finds of jasper and quartz from earlier exploration absolutely proved the existence of a semi-precious stone bead manufacturing center. Iron slags and smelted tiny parts of iron have also been found.The small-scale investigation leading to discovery of Rouletted Ware, Knobbed Ware, stone beads etc., particularly in the context of the geo-location of Wari-Beteshwar, inevitably indicates to southeast Asiatic and Roman contacts.
