Geoarchaeology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 300-319, May/June 2024.Abstract Lynchets are ridges formed by erosion and sediment accumulation downstream of agricultural plots and offer valuable insights into past agricultural activity. These microtopographies cover vast areas and serve as indicators of historical changes in land use. As a result, their ubiquity across Europe makes them particularly interesting.

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 57-81, February 2024.The word cocio (i.e. petty merchant or broker in classical Latin) was a rare term that after a long absence in written Latin reappeared in several Carolingian texts.
