Almenar Fernández, Luis, "Why did medieval villagers buy earthenware? Pottery and consumer behaviour in the Valencian countryside (1280–1450)", Continuity and Change, 33/1 (2018), 1-27.

Resum

Recent scholarship has suggested that villagers participated in the general proliferation of goods that seems to have occurred in late medieval Europe. How and why they did so is far from clear. This article addresses this issue through a case study of pottery consumption (with particular attention to earthenware) in late medieval rural Valencia. A quantitative analysis of 251 probate inventories (1280s–1450s) supports the argument that not only did medieval villagers acquire more of these goods, but also that the reasons behind such a process challenge many of the traditional interpretations of changes in consumption patterns.
