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.
