But a team of French researchers has challenged this idea by trawling through medieval documents to create the oldest detailed social network ever constructed.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080519/full/news.2008.839.html?s=news_rss"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nature.com/img/E7A85F23-4954-4590-8B32-6A45D7488C50" alt="france" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080519/full/news.2008.839.html?s=news_rss">Working from records of land transactions dating back as far as 1260, computer scientists have reconstructed the social ties that bound 10 villages in the province of Lot in southwest France. The result is a rare look at how medieval peasants and lords were connected.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080519/full/news.2008.839.html?s=news_rss">Documents showing medieval landholdings have been preserved in other parts of Europe, but are relatively rare in France, says one of the research team, Nathalie Villa of the University of Toulouse. "In France, most of these types of documents disappeared during the revolution," she says. "There is little documentation of how peasants lived their lives."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/74297119-3EDC-48E9-861A-86BA6E3ADE66/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
