Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A range of evidence was uncovered for the early to late medieval land use of the floodplain of the river Rea, indicating a change during the medieval period from a partly wooded environment with alder and hazel to a cleared floodplain utilized as wet meadowland. Through the medieval period there was a build up of overbank alluvium, attributed to an increase in arable cultivation in the catchment area. The evidence for the medieval landscape has been related to recent research into the landscape history of King's Norton, and has broadened current knowledge. The sequence ended in the mid-sixteenth century. During the eighteenth century settlement and landscape changed as new farmsteads were established in the Longbridge area; parts of two such sites were investigated. | ||||||||
