Yes, I have to admit that I also did not use sources from the specific time 
period.  But I think I might be justified in that she used a 15th century 
recipe, without stating that it was from the 15th century, in an article 
about foods from 1000 AD.  What was that she said about foods changing over 
the course of 3-400 years?  Also, note that the article says everyone's teeth 
were worn down to stumps, which she later recants as "some people's", and 
appears to be basing this info on a newspaper article about what two 
researchers said.
At least we know where she got the info now.  That was one thing I really 
wanted to know.
