In "Flowerdew Hundred" Deetz refers to some research by Robert Saint George
based on the analysis of the account books of a carpenter and a mason. The
interpretation has to do with the importance of maintenance work for social
solidarity. Does anyone know where this was published and/or how I might
contact the author? I would like to use the argument in a project of my own
concerning blacksmiths.
