Anne Wilson leads off with this paper "Preserving food to preserve life:
the
response to glut and famine from early times to the end of the Middle
Ages." pp. 5-31.
She discusses air drying, burial, parching, smoking, salting, preserving
cream
and milk, salted meat and dairy products, salted fish, cereals, pulses,
sugar, spices,
dried fruits, and wines.
There are a number of other books and papers of course. Wilson mentions
a work
called Fish Saving which goes into all the methods of 'saving' or
preserving fish.

Interesting, I am not familiar with "parching".
I notice that pickling meats in whey is not mentioned, and I have read
about that process several times recently. As a matter of fact, I have
about a gallon of whey in stock right now since I just made some fresh
cheese, and was considering what to do with it.
