Abstract:		 Surveys the agricultural resources and the succession of settlement with its expansion to and retreat from the uplands. Much of the earliest evidence is lost to us and discrepancies between archaeology and palynology require further patient work (and a cessation of uncritical recycling of each discipline's outdated ideas by the other!). Upland evidence is better preserved and there both disciplines come together more conformably. The vegetation record does not support the view of a later BA population collapse, and by the end of BA great advances in farming are evident. The Iron Age landscape bore very high population in extensively enclosed lowland, while in the hills individual farms still had woodland resources although the moorlands were already waterlogged and acid, providing only rough grazing.
