[Bryn-gwlad] documentation question

[stiobhard]

hello

for a paper i am going to be writing i was talking 
rather abstractly about some sca projects where i had
looked at art to try to discover details of mediaeval
dress. (some of you may have been pestered by me this
summer in this regard) 

anyway it was suggested rather than write about a
specific peice of art i should write about historical
method and using art as a historical source. maybe
this is more than most people actually get into, but i
was just wondering if anyone you had seen anything
that touched on this directly rather than just doing
it. 
i know it is done all the time but was looking for a
way to get started. 

I was talking to mott and she mentioned her own
reasearch in this regard using the bayeux tapestry and
italian renaissance art and the controversies
surrounding using art as sources for documentation. if
anyone has some thoughts, i would be interested.
