What did the people in 1500s use as transportation?
In the 1500s, people primarily used horses and oxen for land transportation, often riding or using carts and wagons. For longer distances, ships were vital for trade and travel, especially in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Canals and rivers also facilitated movement, with boats being used for transporting goods and people. Overall, transportation methods were largely dependent on geography and available resources.

In the 1600s, people primarily relied on walking for short distances, while horses and carriages were common for longer travels. Ships were essential for trade and transportation, especially in coastal and riverine areas.

What was the cartwright' s job in medieval times?
A cartwright made (in Old English "wrought") carts, which have only two wheels - wagons have four and are generally much larger.The cartwright might make the wheels himself, or obtain them from a wheelwright; the wheels would be made of three different types of wood because of their different properties. Medieval wheels had short sections of iron joined to form the ring or tyre which held the whole wheel together.Carts might have simple wooden sides, or a canvas cover, or a kind of railing each side, depending on its use.A carter was a man who used a cart, either walking alongside the oxen that pulled it or sitting on the front of the cart itself.
Why were mouldboard ploughs more efficient in the middle age?
Medieval ploughs were made in many different ways, according to local soil conditions. The mouldboard plough was used in heavy soils such as clays and its main benefit was in turning the soil aside, producing distinctive ridges and furrows - the crops were then grown on the ridges and water could drain away into the furrows. A drawback in the design was that the wooden mouldboard could become clogged with soil, meaning that the plough was less efficient and much harder to move. Many ploughmen took along a carpenter's axe (also known as a T-axe) and hung this on the beam of the plough, just behind the oxen. It was used to clean off the mouldboard whenever it became clogged. I have a number of manuscript illustrations from the 12th century showing this axe hung on the plough-beam (in one case the ploughman carries it in his hand).
