@jamestpomfret As above, the uni does take a significant amount for support. This is a 5 year project with 4 researchers working on it, which work includes some travel to archives and conferences.

@FaraiUnVers @dr_j_r_c Thanks! So the project also includes colleagues at Utrecht University who are looking into Baltic trade in the same period. I'm not aware of any comparative studies of Black Sea region, but would be very interested if there were any.
