I'd recommend picking up a copy of Ed Wood's World Sourdoughs from 
Antiquity.  It has a number of quickbread recipes that you might find 
useful.  As for actual period recipes, ISTR that most of those are 
unleavened.  If you want to modify the recipes, a cup of (semi-liquid) 
starter is roughly 1 cup of flour plus 1/2 cup liquid and you can use that 
ratio to replace flour and water in the recipe.
