"Period" is pre-1600, concentrating on the Western European High Middle 
Ages (straight off the SCA home page intro).  As a matter of fact, 
there's also a "grey area" for the next 50 years, so you can sometimes 
get by on documentation that's slightly out of period, on the reasonable 
assumption that if something can be documented back to 1650, it was 
probably being done in 1600, as well, but just may not have been 
documented then.
