simple ploughs

[aquilotta]

Is anyone able to provide me with a link to an article about basic ploughs - eg., ards and other scratch ploughs, both historical ones and the sort seen on pictures of subsistence farmers etc.
ie., single ox/cow/donkey/whatever + wooden branch/pole etc etc...
In particular, I'm desperately searching for DIAGRAMS and PHOTOGRAPHS of such ploughs!!!

Many thanks!

The classic text is 'Plov i ard in Nordensk Oldtid' by the Danish Professor P V Glob. No, seriously. It probably exists in translation - 'Plough or Ard in nordic prehistory'. Enjoy.
