Crop yields


National medieval crop yields database
- The database is the creation of Bruce M. S. Campbell, Professor of Medieval Economic History within the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Palaeoecology at The Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB).
- The “Database” may be searched by crop, harvest year, manor, estate, county, region, and any combination of the same. All that is required is that users identify themselves by registering. The yields given are yields per seed, gross of tithe (assumed to have been every tenth sheaf deducted in the field) and net of seed. The database cannot be amended but a “Wiki” page is available where any corrections and additions can be noted along with other relevant comments. It is anticipated that the database will be corrected, added to, and extended as more data become available. Meanwhile, the “Chronologies” facility offers a series of reconstructed annual chronologies for each of the principal crops and combinations of the same. These have no counterpart for any other country or period before the 19th century and will be of particular value to archaeologists, historians, economists, environmentalists, and agronomists. They have been derived from the spatially and chronologically discontinuous raw yield data using the regression facility available within the STATA statistical software package.
