[Galefridus Peregrinus]

I am not surprised that they used ruminant dung -- it has a fair bit of 
undigested cellulose. Use of chaff, however -- that's new to me. Any 
references?

Archeological evidence suggests that in some locales the chaff is used 
as the fuel for cooking and for the Middle East, I expect that dried 
dung was commonly used.  The paper Johnna referenced is interesting, but 
I need to give it more than a cursory examination.
