Additional thanks<\/h2>\n

Numerous people have been involved at various stages of the project, particularly during excavations and periods of data collection in Poland, Estonia and Latvia.

We would also like to thank Roberta Gilchrist, Nick Branch and Dominik Fleitmann (Department of Archaeology, University of Reading), for their continuing advice and support. We would also like to extend our thanks to the staff of the British Library, the libraries of the Castle Museum in Malbork, the Museum of Warmia and Masuria in Olsztyn, the University of Nicolaus Copernicus in Toru\u0144 and the Warburg Institute in London for their help with accessing maps and relevant source material.
