Introduction

The documentary evidence for climate change
Noël James Menuge
5 - 9
examination of a variety of sources and their different uses in reading climatic change
Climatic variability and `marginal' settlement in upland British landscapes: a re-evaluation
Richard Tipping
10 - 29
the article initially looks at climate change within the `little ice age' from 1350 to 1750 and the `marginalisation' of upland landscapes in parts of southern Scotland; it then examines palaeo-ecological data from across northern Britain and explores whether climate deterioration drove regional abandonment of upland areas in later prehistory. The author argues that climate change is an unsatisfactory explanation for the abandonment of upland landscapes
Climate change and woodland biodiversity
N H Collinson

29 - 38
the authors discuss the impact of recent climate change on ancient woodland
The implications for agricultural landscapes
Clive Potter
43 - 47
the article looks at the changes in the appearance of the UK's farmed landscape that are likely to occur as a result of climate change
The chalkland landscape of Cranborne Chase: a prehistoric human ecology
Michael J Allen
55 - 69
A discussion of the results of recent environmental analyses in the area of Cranborne Chase in Dorset, in particular large scale land snail analyses and pollen analyses from a research project conducted by Martin Green and reported in A landscape revealed: 10,000 years on a chalkland farm (Tempus, 2000), which have been used to present a series of `landscape reconstructions'. Includes

Using field-names
Ruth E Richardson
70 - 83
The author argues that an examination of field-names over a wide area can show a statistical probability that certain field-names correlate with particular types of site. A significant field-name can, therefore, act as an archaeological indicator. Field-names are a direct link with previous users of the land; some field-names have changed, and these changes are interesting, but others can be traced to the earliest users.
A landscape of dissent: topography and identity in three Pennine valleys
Cyril Pearce
84 - 102
The article argues that within the continuing debate on the nature of Englishness, local and regional identities should not be ignored, and that local identities in England can be explained in part by understanding the links between landscape, climate and human settlement. The analysis uses literary and historical evidence to explore the development of a distinctive local identity amongst the communities of three river valleys in the West Yorkshire Pennines.
Review article: perception, conflict and conservation in upland se...
