Abstract:		 This guidance provides practical advice on the recording, analysis and understanding of earthworks and other historic landscape features using non-intrusive archaeological field survey and investigation techniques. It describes and illustrates approaches to archaeological field survey, drawing conventions and Levels of Survey for record creators and users. The guidance also draws from the experience of Historic England field teams, exploring different aspects of landscape investigation and analysis through a series of case studies. The land, both urban and rural, is a document recording the lives of countless past generations. Existing route ways, buildings and boundaries, trees and hedges, as well as structures now reduced to earthworks, are all part of the beauty and fascination of the landscape. They can also be analysed to tell the story of the past – economic, social, aesthetic and religious. Analytical survey is a powerful tool that can help unravel the stories embedded in the landscape record. It involves the keen observation, careful recording and thoughtful analysis of visible archaeological remains. The analytical survey of earthworks and landscapes is a particularly valuable contribution to archaeology, and to related disciplines such as historical geography and local history. It is a tradition spanning 300 years in Britain and is the oldest of archaeological techniques.
