We will be seeking archaeological remains of food and medicine from the medieval monastery, using a range of techniques including pollen, macrobotanical and sedaDNA analyses. This research will focus on the drainage system associated with the transport of both latrine and kitchen wastes away from the monastery, as well as with the medieval fish pond.
