This paper summarized for a European audience what was known about the causes, distribution, and significance of smoke-blackened thatch in England, backed by the authors' photographs,and concludes with a caveat, based on original research, against uncritical acceptance of the evidence of thatch composition as an indication of late-medieval agricultural practices.
