Rural Manufacturing in the Rouergue from Antiquity to the Present: The Examples of Pottery and Cheese
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 July 2001
Abstract
In looking at the production of pottery and cheese in the southwest of France, we want to suggest that over the long term the region had a much more complicated history of production than its present, predominantly rural economy might suggest. The manufacturing processes were linked symbiotically with other local activities, and were often carried out by “peasants” working in agriculture for a good part of the year.
