Abstract
Editorial
Richard Muir
1 - 3
Considers the potential of DNA research for the study of landscape archaeology.
Dangerous islands: fate, faith and cosmology
Andrew Fleming
4 - 21
Uses the literature of two islands, Hirta (St Kilda) off north-west Scotland and the Great Blasket, off western Ireland, to explore ideas about the cosmology of landscapes described as `dangerous' because of the risks taken by men engaged in fowling, fishing and seal-hunting.
Maritime landscapes
A J Parker
22 - 41
Argues that the sea, the foreshore and the coastal margin contain clues to their exploitation in the past, which can be understood through observation and interpretation. Suggests that adopting a mariner's perspective can aid the reconstruction of past nautical environments.
Ecology into landscape: some English moorlands in the later Mesolithic
I G Simmons
42 - 55
Attempts to enhance the understanding of the Mesolithic environment by translating process-based ecological work into a more visual mode by imagining what the landscapes might have looked like.
The opening-up of Scammonden, a Pennine moorland valley
George Redmonds
David Hey
56 - 73
Studies the landscape history of the valley. The comparison of two maps, dating to 1607 and 1908, demonstrates little change in the basic framework of settlement. Exploration on the ground reveals much that is still recognisable, despite the construction of the M62 motorway and two reservoirs. Documentary evidence suggests that the settlement pattern was created before the Black Death.
Understanding England's historic landscapes: an aerial perspective
Robert H Bewley
74 - 84
Introduces the background, philosophy and approach behind English Heritage's National Mapping Programme (NMP) of aerial photography.
What landscape means to me
Humphrey G Welfare
85 - 87
Suggests that familiarity with an observed landscape can lead to features being overlooked, and therefore not being identified.
