Abstract
The reconstruction of the early tenurial and territorial divisions of the landscape of Northern England
David Michelmore
1 - 9
Territorial divisions result from social, economic, and religious factors. The basic unit in the North was the township, probably mid-Saxon in origin, economically almost self-sufficient, with precise boundaries, and unaffected by varying settlement or tenurial patterns. However, the complexities involved in understanding even well-documented arrangements must caution against interpreting prehistoric divisions on physical evidence alone. D G/Ed
Aerial archaeology and the prehistoric landscape
James Pickering
10 - 15
Argues the superiority of 'aerial archaeology' over both routine air photography and excavation of selected sites in providing understanding of the prehistoric landscape of linear earthworks and field systems.
Environmental issues in landscape studies
Richard Smith
16 - 28
Argues the need to interrelate cultural and physical evidence, together with the careful use of supporting techniques of environmental archaeology, for a fuller understanding of prehistoric landscapes.
Phosphate analysis and three possible Dark Age ecclesiastical sites in Yorkshire
Margaret L Faull
Richard T Smith
21 - 38
Documentary evidence for the historical ecologist
Oliver Rackham
29 - 33
Brief survey of the historical sources which may be used to study the interaction between man and his physical environment, and of some of the problems and shortcomings of such evidence (such as the fact that only the unusual and the sudden tend to be recorded). See also 81/7472.
The use of place-names in reconstructing the historic landscape; illustrated by names from Adel township
Margaret L Faull
34 - 43
Place-names, if used with fieldwork and other controls, can be used to reconstruct landscape features, especially at parochial level. Examples are given for routeways and boundaries, area names, settlements, man-made features, and possible archaeological sites. D G
Documentary evidence for the landscape of the manor of Wakefield during the Middle Ages
Stephen A Moorhouse
44 - 58
Describes the varying settlement patterns, field systems, and communications within the lay manor of Wakefield (57 townships within a varied geography); evidence comes chiefly from court rolls and place- and field-names. These also give some information on manorial organization, distribution of natural resources, and exploitation of the landscape. D G
The reconstruction of the medieval landscape: the estates of Abingdon Abbey
Clive Jonathon Bond
59 - 75
Topographical information from monastic sources, under-exploited at both local and national level, can reveal much about the impact of monastic organization on the landscape. Fieldwork must supplement the documentary research. A summary of the distribution and management of the scattered estates and resources of Abingdon Abbey is given, together with some field evidence for barns, fishponds, quarries etc.
