Abstract
This talk presents initial results from an interdisciplinary project on livestock rearing during the medieval-to-modern transition. Focusing on Ireland and Sweden, I will show how it becomes possible to track livestock husbandry and its economic importance when the landscape is considered along with historical evidence. Moreover, I will discuss the environmental adaptability of people in these previously-overlooked places.
