Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The article explores evidence for the nature of the Wensleydale, Swaledale and Swale/Tees-Greta Uplands in later prehistory (from 4000 BC onwards). It portrays an environment with a complex mosaic of woodlands, different from the modern landscape but with important continuities. Human activity was often linked to the sites of springs and other water features. Evidence from pollen reports, from fragments of semi-natural woodland and from tree remains in blanket peats allows the reconstruction of a variety of woodland environments. There is evidence of transient human activity across the area from the end of the Mesolithic to the establishment of settled farming communities at about 1200 BC. This activity is found in the vicinity of springs rising below the uppermost limestone scars and at passes across the interfluves, and the article discusses the distribution and location of three categories of evidence -- lithic scatters, rock art and burnt mounds -- in the context of the disposition, composition and density of the surrounding woodlands.
