Scott's paper was titled "Experimenial Archaeology as Participant Observation: A Perspective from Medieval Food." The subject was the use of replication studies as a means to better understand medieval culture and social practices from a holistic perspective, parallel to the holistic studies carries out in ethnographic field research. The replication studies were the re-creation of a fourteenth-century mead (honey wine) recipe, and a group of fifteenth-century foods made in replicated cooking pots.
