Oh, I should note: there is some chemistry in this post and yes it will be on the quiz.

A bit late, but this week's blog post is up: https://acoup.blog/2020/09/25/collections-iron-how-did-they-make-it-part-ii-trees-for-blooms/ … looking at how the smelting process was accomplished in the pre-modern period, in the absence of modern blast furnaces. Probably a lot of typos in there too, but I needs must be grading.

Interesting piece, though you're wrong on the ecological impact, which was often... paradoxical. Cleere and Crossley's 'The Iron Industry of the Weald' is online and is very useful: https://www.wealdeniron.org.uk/bigfiles/The%20Iron%20Industry%20of%20the%20Weald%20-%20C+C.pdf … (Roman period pp. 57-87)

I’ve been following your blog for a little while, and I wanted to say thank you as someone who used to study history and now works in a different field. Question about your recent series on agriculture: do you have a sense of why rice didn’t spread farther west?

I was actually talking about this with a colleague who works on medieval Italian urbanism, but the answer is: it did! In regions where there was enough water, by the late Middle Ages, we are seeing rice cultivation in parts of Italy.
