Opis

This book derives from a seminar series held at the Oxford University Institute of Archaeology in 2003-2004
and a second brief series in spring 2005. The idea was to bring the students together with academic and professional archaeologists engaged in doing interesting work in landscape archaeology, who could present recent thinking about ancient landscapes from a variety of perspectives, using various approaches, and with a number of different aims. Contents: Preface and acknowledgments (Helen Lewis and Sarah Semple); 1) Sarsen Stories (Joshua Pollard and Mark Gillings); 2) Syncretism of space: the Christianisation of the Ethiopian landscape? (Niall Finneran); 3) Connotations of arable land use in landscape archaeology (Helen Lewis); 4) Sustaining prehistoric agricultural landscapes in southern Spain, highland Yemen and northern New Mexico: the geoarchaeological perspective (Charles French); 5) 'Where the cattle went, they went': towards a phenomenological archaeology of cattle mustering in the Kunderang ravines, New South Wales, Australia (Rodney Harrison); 6) The nature and distribution of early medieval woodland and wood-pasture habitats (Della Hooke); 7) Wetting the fringe of your habit: medieval monasticism and coastal landscape (Joe Flatman); 8) Still living with the Dobunni (Stephen Yeates); 9) The Gray Hill Landscape Archaeology Project, Llanfair Discoed, Monmouthshire, Wales (Adrian M. Chadwick, with contributions by Joshua Pollard); 10) The topography of outdoor assembly sites in Europe with reference to recent field results from Sweden (Alexandra Sanmark and Sarah Semple).
