Abstract
Settlement and economy in a changing prehistoric lowland landscape: an East Yorkshire (UK) case study
Peter Halkon
James B Innes
225 - 259
The article assesses the major changes in landscape and coastline which took place in an area adjacent to the northern shore of the inner estuary of the river Humber in East Yorkshire, from the beginning of the Holocene to the Iron Age. It considers the effect of these changes on material culture as represented by artefact distributions, including flint assemblages and polished stone tools located during field survey. The conclusions presented derive from a continuing programme of research in this study area and they are placed in the context of the wider Humber region and the North Sea Basin. The article advocates a restoration of balance with regard to geographical determinism -- a new pragmatism -- accepting that environmental factors have a great importance in determining the nature and location of certain activities in the past, though cannot be used to explain them all. Includes French and German summaries.
