Abstract


The present article represents an approximation to the food of some German miners settled in Pamplona at the end of the 14th century, to carry out a series of assays intended to determine the kind of metals present in the ore and their actual proportion, with the purpose to verify the profitability of some seams found at Five Villages. Their food accounting for approximately one and a half months, give us first hand information of their habits and of those sharing the table with them. To a certain extent, it is possible to extrapolate these practices to the ones of part of Navarra's salary earners. In them, we could sense certain customs or preferences characteristic of North Europe.
