Title: The development of Anglo-Saxon rural settlement forms
Abstract:
A new generation of
large-scale, mostly developer-funded excavations of Anglo-Saxon
settlements are revolutionising our understanding of the socio-economic
development of rural communities in the mid- to late Saxon periods. After
characterising the settlement forms seen during the fifth to seventh
centuries, this paper traces the diversification in the structure and
layout of settlements from the later seventh century onwards and considers
its causes, such as the possible relationship between the construction of
extensive complexes of ditched enclosures and droveways, and new forms of
land use.

Title: Sustainable environments: common wood pastures in Norfolk
Abstract:
The following paper
examines the management and sustainability of wood pasture on the commons
of Norfolk from the medieval period until the early nineteenth century. It
has been generally accepted that areas of common wood pasture were
particularly unstable environments, subject to overgrazing and tree
removal with little means of maintaining the dual resources of pasture and
wood. However, evidence from the populous and intensively farmed county of
Norfolk challenges that assertion. Using sources including manorial
records, manuscript maps and the documentation associated with
Parliamentary Enclosure this paper demonstrates that individual tenants
and groups of commoners defended their right to use and maintain wooded
common pastures. Manorial records defined customary rights to manage
existing pollards and for the regular planting of young trees on commons.
Peasant farmers continued to exercise these rights throughout the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and, when challenged, took their
grievances to the law courts, making full use of the contemporary judicial
system. The evidence from Norfolk suggests that wood pastures were managed
and replenished by those with common rights, who sustained this resource
despite opposition and the potential for overuse. Only when the commons
themselves succumbed to Enclosure in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth century did common wood pasture cease to be a customary part of
the Norfolk landscape.

Title: Hushes, delfs and river stonary: alternative methods of obtaining lime in the gritstone Pennines in the early modern period
Abstract:
The production of burnt
lime in regions with outcrops of limestone is well documented but lime was
also produced on a proto-industrial scale along the northern edges of the
South Pennines where sandstone and gritstone constitute the dominant solid
geology. Demand for lime led to the development of alternative ways of
obtaining raw limestone locally. Along the moorland edge, water was
channelled to flush limestone cobbles out of glacial deposits by hushing;
cobbles were dug from limestone boulder pits on the moors north and south
of Airedale and Wharfedale; and rights to pick limestone cobbles from
within river channels were leased as river stonary along the Wharfe and
smaller streams. These practices have been identified from the medieval
period to the end of the eighteenth century.

Title: Land use and landownership: a recent history of parks in Hertfordshire
Abstract:
This article raises new
questions about the use of land for parks in competition with other land
uses and examines conflicts between private and public interests over
ownership and access to parkland. The identification of parks in this
study is based on areas signified as parks or ornamental grounds by the
Ordnance Survey. From 1873 onwards, the wealth and power of the great
landowning families declined. Successive owners demolished country houses
and converted parks to new uses as public recreation grounds, golf
courses, playing fields for schools, hospitals and other institutions.
Privately owned parks are rapidly disappearing and remains of historic
designed landscapes, ancient woodlands, chalk downlands and diverse
wildlife are in danger of being lost.

Title: 'A place there is where liquid honey drops like dew'. The landscape of Little Downham, Cambridgeshire, in the twelfth century?
Abstract:
This paper and that which
follows are published together to illustrate how two scholars in very
different fields can produce entirely different interpretations of an
early twelfth-century poem. Using traditional historical
evidence Christopher Taylor fits the poetic descriptions into the
contemporary landscape. Catherine Clarke approaches the poem from a
literary perspective using textual analysis. Both methods are equally
valid, and each might be seen as enhancing the other.

Title: Grainlands. The landscape of open fields in a European perspective
Abstract:
Landscape history is
still mainly studied in local or regional projects and within national
research traditions. However, an international perspective becomes ever
more necessary, not just for scientific reasons, but also in the light of
the increasing internationalisation of landscape politics; see for example
the European Landscape Convention. The present article willfocus on one
particular type of landscape: the open fields, the grain-growing
landscapes that were the backbone of medieval European agriculture. The
landscape of open fields can (or at least could) be found over large parts
of Europe in regions with very different legal and organisational
structures, soil conditions and agricultural systems. Some of the
lengthiest and most thorough discussions in landscape history were on the
origin of the open fields. The present article stresses the necessity to
treat the different components of open fields (land use, landownership,
agrarian techniques) separately. Many of the explanations
offered are based on research in limited areas. An international
perspective is helpful by putting local developments into a broader
perspective. Since the Late Middle Ages, the open field landscapes have
moved north-eastwards, following the moving geography of grain
cultivation. Whereas open fields gradually disappeared through enclosure
in Britain, Scandinavia and other regions, elsewhere, especially in the
Eastern Baltic, new open fields were being developed during the sixteenth
century. This changing geography of open fields is probably related to
changes in the European economy, in which the regional markets for grain
gave way to a pan- European market during the sixteenth century and to a
world market in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Each phase
offered new opportunities, as well as threats, to the open field regions.

Title: Living on the edge: making and moving iron from the 'outside' in Anglo-Saxon England
Abstract:
The production of iron in
Anglo-Saxon England is little understood due to the lack of evidence.
There are less than a dozen iron smelting sites known. This is a distinct
contrast to the wealth of evidence of iron smelting during the Roman
period. Should we believe that the Anglo-Saxon world was relying on
recycled Roman iron? The absence of evidence should not be taken as the
evidence of absence. Instead, we can look towards contemporary
archaeological examples and ethnography to try and explain the production
of iron and the movement of ferrous objects. This paper will argue that
the production of iron was located outside the settlement. Not only does
this activity occupy the periphery of the physical and cultural landscape,
it was embedded in the liminal zone between reality and myth. Blacksmiths
were feared for their art was associated with magic. The evidence of their
mobility in north-west Europe emphasises how marginal they were in
society, along with their goods. The value of items coming from the
'outside' was heightened as they came from the distant unknown, the
unfamiliar. In order to understand the dynamic role of iron in AngloSaxon
society, we must review the negative evidence of iron smelting, and the
evidence for smithing. This should be considered with reference to the
literary evidence available to us in the context of the Migration period
in northwest Europe. Iron production in early Anglo-Saxon England should
also be sought after using archaeological prospection techniques.

Title: The Crossing of Dartmoor
Abstract:
An east-west route across
Dartmoor, marked by a series oflate medieval granite crosses, probably
goes back at least to the eighth century; it is the moorland component of
the pre-Conquest road from Ashburton (and Exeter) to Tavistock and then
through Horsebridge and into central Cornwall. The road links up with, and
partly follows, another road linking important early medieval places in
west Devon, which may once have related to the 'frontier' with Cornwall.
Such early roads originated as instruments of elite control and were
critical engines of regional military and political stratagems.
Understanding their courses, in conjunction with other evidence, may aid
the reconstruction of pre- Conquest settlement and political geography.

Title: A hunting thicket in Roissy-en-France (France)
Abstract:
Excavations at
Roissy-en-France revealed an intriguing concentration of archaeological
features relating to the history of the landscape. Forty-six ditches and
150 small sunken features covered a concentrated rectangular surface of
approximately one acre. A detailed explanation of these remains has been
obtained by a close examination of plantation types described in old
agricultural manuals. The combination of vine, copse, meadow and watering
place constitutes a small Modern-period hunting thicket
(sixteenthth-eighteenth century). Some indication of the animal species
hunted has come from archaeological research carried out on a nearby farm
dwelling and on the stately home at Roissy. Hunting in the
Île-de-France region during the Modern period was a source of
considerable tension which focussed on thickets, perceived by farmers as
being harmful.

Title: The Croston Drainage Scheme: co-operation and conflict in the development of the south-west Lancashire Landscape
Abstract:
The history, technology
and economics of fenland drainage are briefly reviewed and a comparison
made between the Lancashire mosslands and the Fens and Somerset Levels. In
the eighteenth century Croston Finney was a low-lying, remote area subject
to annual flooding on which improvement had been made on a small area by
enclosure and piecemeal attempts at drainage by various landowners but
complexity of land-holding and the differing township interests required a
Drainage Act (1800) before real progress could be made. The scheme was
finally completed in 1836 after prolonged efforts. The Croston Drainage
Scheme provides a clear example of development by drainage, followed by
reclamation and then settlement and the inter-relationships of landscape,
economic and social history.

Title: Curves turning into squares. Late Prehistoric landscape change and the changing morphology of ritual structures. Causality? An assessment of the evidence
Abstract:
During the later Bronze
Age several parts of north-west Europe saw accelerated deforestation and
expansion of agricultural land. In densely populated areas the first
(man-made) open landscapes came into being. Simultaneously in the
Netherlands and elsewhere more stable settlement patterns appeared as well
as extensive and planned allotment. Within a relatively short period of
time the landscape became much more 'cultural' and planned. The dominance
of straight lines and rectangles in this open, parcelled-out and
compartmentalised landscape markedly contrasts with the 'natural' curved
lines and organic' shapes of the preceding half- open and spatially
dynamic 'wood-pasture' type landscapes. The new landscape had a distinctly
different morphology and this may have influenced the way humans perceived
their environment. This altered landscape perception then may explain the
shift from curvilinearity to rectilinearity in the shaping of ritual
enclosures and burial monuments. The sole ambition of this short paper is
to argue the case within available evidence, rather than claiming to be
the last word on the topic.

Title: The Landscape of Domesday Suffolk
Abstract:
This study maps the
carucate and acre records contained in the Suffolk folios of Little
Domesday for the first time and re-examines the body of work supporting
the assumptions that the carucate represents 120 fiscal acres and had
approximately the same value as statute acres before proposing further
statistical evidence in support of these assumptions. The article then
focuses on the detailed geographic distributions of woodland, meadow,
ploughteams and livestock recorded in Little Domesday, proposing that
these distributions reflect the varying physical landscape across the
county and examining how those natural resources and challenges have
influenced the agricultural practices of the Anglo-Saxons across the
different regions within the county at the time of the Norman Conquest.

Title: The earthworks at Benington Park, Hertfordshire: an exercise in dating an 'archaeological garden'
Abstract:
At first sight, this
paper is an attempt to describe, analyse and date the archaeological
remains of an exceptionally fine garden and park in Hertfordshire. The
garden is, apparently, well documented, there being two large-scale
detailed estates maps of it. But although the complex arrangements of the
site and the history of the owners, their friends and relatives were
quickly ascertained it has proved impossible to date it with absolute
certainty. At least four separate occasions over a period of more than a
century have been suggested but none can be verified. The documentation
proved to be elusive with regard to date and, more importantly, the
purpose of the key estate map of 1628 could not be ascertained. And the
map itself bears little relation to that which survives. The paper is thus
published partly as an example of methodology but primarily as a warning
to garden historians and archaeologists.

Title: Topography and landscape history: the role of the Victoria County History
Abstract:
This paper examines the
process whereby topographical historical writing has merged into landscape
studies, and asks what the role of the Victoria County History was in this
process? The author, who was Director and General Editor of the VCH
2005-10, sets into context the changing nature of VCH parish topographical
entries and looks at how these have altered and developed through time as
a result of both practical and academic shifts in thinking. Today's VCH
still has its traditional elements, none more so than the manorial
descent, which is a legacy of its antiquarian past, but also contains
up-to-date discussions of settlement, landscape, and place names.

Title: A probable late Saxon burh at Ilchester
Abstract:
Reasons are put forward
for suggesting that a burh at Ilchester would have formed one element of
the system of burhs built over the whole of Wessex by King Alfred in the
late ninth century, which, apart from Ilchester, are included in the
Burghal Hidage document. The principal argument is that it is necessary to
postulate the existence of a burghal territory of several hundred hides in
addition to those given for other Somerset burhs in the Burghal hidage, in
order to make up a shortfall in the total hidage values from the shire
given in the Burghal Hidage compared to those in Domesday Book. A
methodology is suggested by which these values can be reconstructed. There
are other characteristics pertaining to Ilchester itself which are
indicative of its former burghal status: its tenurial heterogeneity and
its dependence on the royal estate centre at Milborne Port shown in
Domesday Book, and archaeological and other evidence for its importance as
a significant settlement in the late Saxon landscape of Somerset.

Title: The wooded landscape of Old English poetry
Abstract:
Trees and woodland, and
their products, were of considerable significance to the daily lives of
the Anglo-Saxons. The usefulness of these as a resource was
counter-balanced by the threat posed to the human community by the
wildness of forests; both natural dangers from wolves and other animals,
and the refuge that forests offered to the lawless and dispossessed. The
tree and woodland imagery of the vernacular poetry of the period shows how
the Anglo-Saxons used both aspects within the texts to develop ideas and
concepts that go beyond the physical realities of not only the resources
obtained from trees, but also the woodland as a feature of the landscape
around them. Analysis of the vocabulary used reveals a differentiation
between the application of two of the terms for woodland,
holt and weald. As a holt, in the form
of metaphorical forests composed of spears, the landscape can protect the
human community as well as threaten it. The forest which, practically
speaking, is outside the confines of society becomes, by the use of weald
in the poetry, a vehicle for conveying the concept of the boundaries of
normality.

Title: Old English wald, weald in place-names
Abstract:
Old English
wald is a not uncommon term used in place-names and
pre-Conquest charter boundary clauses. The interpretation of the term is
discussed and its association with woodland, together with brief
references to other woodland terms, especially British
*cēto and related terms. Some early recordings of
wald names appear to refer to relatively large
well-wooded areas such as the Weald of south-eastern England. Some area
names, like 'Cotswold', are not recorded until the medieval period when
the meaning of 'wold' was beginning to change and when some such regions
were becoming characterised by more open countryside; the names, however,
may be much older. The term was consistently associated with upland, often
in marginal areas, and it seems likely that it originally implied the
presence of considerable amounts of open woodland.

Title: A 'truth universally acknowledged'?: morphology as an indicator of medieval planned market towns
Abstract:
The paper explores,
through the case study of March, a large town in the northern part of the
Cambridgeshire peat fens, the general invariability of interpretation as
planned markets of new medieval settlements that include both regular
plots and one or more geometric open spaces. It asks whether manorial
lords might achieve similar ends to those derived from medieval market
grants - an increase in income from rents and tolls - by applying lessons
learned from commercial planned settlements in other economic contexts.

Title: Rural landscapes between the East Fen and the Tofts in south-east Lincolnshire 1100-1550
Abstract:
Historical work has
tended to lump together the different types of terrain in lowland
Lincolnshire. This paper looks at the landscape subregions between the
southern end of the Lincolnshire Marsh and the village of Wrangle and
examines the history of one of them in more detail. Sources of evidence
include documents, aerial photographs, LiDAR, modern maps and knowledge of
the terrain. The picture in medieval and early modern times was one of
greater landscape diversity, many differences having been lost by drainage
since the nineteenth century. The emerging picture for the area between
the raised silts known as the Tofts and the East Fen (known as the Low
Grounds and Commons) is one in which there was a mixture of terrain types,
in which dry ground was devoted to arable and pasture but alongside which
wetland remnants of peat moss, abandoned turbary and reed-beds persisted.
There is also evidence that salt was made at one stage in the landscape's
evolution, with the probability that this was an early medieval stage.
Although now effectively drained, the field boundaries are still mostly
ditches and are an element of continuity from earlier times in a landscape
for long defined by the presence of water.

Title: On Rome's ecological contribution to British flora and fauna: landscape, legacy and identity
Abstract:
This paper
addresses the flora and fauna of Roman Britain via two long-lived and
closely-related notions: the 'Roman introduction' and the 'living legacy'.
These concepts connect knowledge and beliefs about the introduction of new
species during the Roman period with the idea of direct and enduring
biological inheritance in post-Roman societies. The paper explores both
the popular and academic prominence of the Romans as agents of ecological
change with effects on landscape, identity and diet which are still
discernible and resonant today. These notions demonstrate wide currency,
from popular stories through to scientific research.Today, archaeobotany
and zooarchaeology are the primary means of documenting the flora and
fauna of Roman Britain. Yet the discipline of archaeology came late to
this topic. This paper outlines the evolving sources of evidence used over
the past 400 years to identify those species introduced during the Roman
period. This includes consideration of the reception of classical texts,
linguistic etymology and genetic analysis. An overarching narrative behind
these concepts is the colonial theoretical framework of 'Romanisation', or
the genealogical appropriation of the Romans as 'our' cultural and
biological ancestors.Despite interest in the reception of Rome and its
archaeological remains, scholars have been slow to recognise the
centrality of flora and fauna for understanding historical and
contemporary perceptions of the Roman past. This paper opens a new avenue
of research by calling attention to the intellectual biography of the
dominant interpretive frameworks which structure both scientific
approaches to the collection and interpretation of data and popular
attitudes towards landscape and identity.

Title: Composing landscapes: musical memories from nineteenth-century Norwegian mountain-scapes
Abstract:
Throughout the
nineteenth century, the Norwegian mountain-scape gradually grew in
popularity as a destination for foreign and domestic touristic discovery,
while simultaneously acquiring a status as object(s) of artistic value and
national significance. This article explores how musical responses (here
by Franz Berwald, Edvard Grieg and Julius R�ntgen) to this mountain-scape
can be understood to both feed off and into the ideological rhetoric
around the mountain-scape by creating various 'reminiscences' which are
conditioned by distance and (actual or imagined) memorisation, and
narrated through a nostalgic construction of idealised longing.

Title: Peopling polite landscapes: community and heritage at Poltimore, Devon
Abstract:
Poltimore House,
near Exeter, Devon, was the seat of the Bampfylde family from the
mid-sixteenth century until the 1920s. The AHRC-funded knowledge transfer
project 'Community and Landscape: Transforming Access to the Heritage of
the Poltimore Estate' researched the changing relationship between house
and setting through a public heritage initiative that promoted the
co-creation of knowledge with local groups. Research techniques included
analysis of maps, estate records and pictorial sources; geophysical and
earthwork survey; test-pitting; and fieldwalking. The designed landscape
around the house went through a series of previously unknown iterations as
the park was enlarged and gardens re-designed, while accompanying changes
saw roads diverted and farms and estate buildings variously moved,
re-built and abandoned. Visual experiences of the house and its
surroundings were manipulated in complex ways as different elements of the
estate landscape were exhibited to certain audiences but secluded from
others at different points in time. The case study demonstrates how the
design of a post-medieval estate landscape could be moulded by the
'personality' of a local dynasty and mediated by local circumstances. It
also shows how integrated archaeological and historical analysis of polite
landscapes can reveal antecedent activity and illuminate layers of re-use
to these settings.

Title: Forest fences: enclosures in a pre-enclosure landscape
Abstract:
The word 'fence' is
used here generically to denote any structure created to prevent or impede
movement across the countryside. They ought to have been absent from
forests, where obstructions to the free passage of deer and hunters were
forbidden by forest law, which in principle, therefore, preserved open
countryside. The patchwork of settlements and enclosed private fields of
the characteristic English landscape could not emerge until
disafforestation got rid of forest law. However, hunting required fences,
and so did the preservation and management of deer so that they were
available to be hunted. Growing crops abutting forests could be fenced
from deer, and the statutory protection of common rights and coppices in
forests required the careful regulation of areas available for fuel
gathering, domestic animal grazing and wood production: whilst deer were
allowed almost complete freedom of movement inside forests, commoners'
animals were not; some areas were temporarily closed even to deer; some
were open to deer but not commoners' animals, whilst others were
accessible to both, but only at particular times. Far from being
'wildscapes', forests were common-pool resource systems where the exercise
of different sets of rights over the same area of land by different people
required complex systems of fencing. Some were unique to forests, and
generally they differed from fences where enclosure allowed the management
of land for private profit by individual owners with sole rights over its
use.

Title: The Lucanian Ionian landscape (XVIIIth-XIXth century)
Abstract:
The Lucanian Ionian
coast represents an interesting case of transformation of the agrarian
landscape affected by Greek colonisation, followed by the Roman conquest,
then the monastic communities of the Middle Ages, and finally threatened
by the Saracen invasions. In the eighteenth century the area was divided
into an internal hilly area in which the characteristic landscape was
dominated by grassland and cereal crops, and near the cities vineyards,
olive groves, orchards and woods prevailed. On the plains towards the
coast, in the many water basins, cereals with vineyards and olive groves
grew abundantly along with the century-old lush forest of Policoro; there
were no cities but only a few settlements. The classic Mediterranean
landscape of the area also saw the presence of the intensive cultivation
of 'cotton wool' as well as the cultivation of liquorice plants along the
fertile half moon until 1870. The rivers reshaped the landscape,
especially on the plains, and formed marshes, whereas men modified the
area with the usurpation of the state-owned allotments and by logging near
the cities. The human presence in the area, in contrast to the region as a
whole, shows a steady increase in numbers from the eighteenth century with
the formation of the two new centres in the twentieth century. The process
of modernisation by the middle of the nineteenth century saw a
transformation phase in the agrarian landscape through the allotments and
the end of feudalism, while in the landscape in the whole area, new
elements and components appeared such as roads, railways, telegraph poles
and cables.

Title: The lead legacy: the relationship between historical mining, pollution and the post-mining landscape
Abstract:
The British lead
mining industry peaked and declined well before environmental protection
and aftercare became a statutory requirement in the post-war period, and
as a consequence left in its wake pockets of barren and degraded land.
Metal-rich waste tips rarely return to vegetation, and environmental
pollution continues through wind erosion and adit drainage. Yet the upland
and often remote situation of the mines has permitted many of these small
scattered wastelands to escape extensive remediation. These abandoned mine
sites have often been interpreted in terms of their historic economic and
technological narratives or studied in relation to contemporary heavy
metals pollution and current risks to public health. This
interdisciplinary study explores the value and benefits of integrating
these two approaches towards a better understanding of mining landscapes
in relation to their pollution history; grounding the methodology in
research questions rather than in any specific discipline. It combines the
history of a small abandoned lead mine at Tyndrum, Stirlingshire, with the
environmental record contained with the soil material at the site. The
integration of traditional historical research with geo-scientific
analysis both expands, and not only deepens, knowledge of the historic
processes that have brought the specific landscape at Tyndrum to its
current state of degradation but also sets the long-term environmental
legacies of historic mineral exploitation in the wider British context.

Title: From rural to urban: landscape changes in north-west Italy over two centuries
Abstract:
Landscape changes
during the last two centuries were analysed, comparing two rural areas of
about 5000 ha at the interface between the Alps and the Po plain
(north-west Italy). Two centuries ago the areas were both set within a
rural context. In the last few decades one of the two (15 km from Torino)
has become mainly residential. The comparison has been made using ancient
cadastral maps focused on land use which date back to the eighteenth
century (Napoleonic cadastre) and recent land-use maps based on aerial
photographs. The comparison highlights that changes of socio-economic
frames determine different rural landscape dynamics in spite of
geomorphologic similarities.

Title: 'Co-operation and conflict in the development of the south-west Lancashire Landscape': a comment
Abstract:
This article
comments on Virgoe's 2011 study of the Croston drainage scheme in early
nineteenth-century Lancashire. It argues that although the underpinning
research is sound, the long-term national and regional context are
under-developed, leading to a number of potentially misleading
conclusions. This article, then, develops the immediate regional context
of social and economic development, and highlights local comparators not
referred to by Virgoe. In doing so the notion of a 'typical' drainage
landscape and the primary role ascribed to landlords in drainage and
landscape history is questioned.

Title: Llannau, llysoedd, and llociau: identifying the early medieval landscape of Gower
Abstract:
This paper offers a detailed study of the landscape of the Gower peninsula
in south Wales in the early medieval period. It attempts to identify the
key settlements of the elite (the llysoedd) and the
church (the llannau). It does this by the careful
scrutiny of the evidence from Gower itself and selected, apt parallels
from adjacent, betterunderstood, areas. Whilst this approach is standard,
it has not been utilised in the limited number of historical studies of
Gower and so the results are novel. In addition to identifying early
llysoedd and churches it identifies a number of extensive
tracts of cattle pasture (the llociau). All were key
elements in the multiple estates into which the landscape was organised.
Elements of this pattern could have their origins in the late Roman era.
Crucial in the identification of these sites has been the idea of the
boundary - defensive, divine and practical - which served to demark and
divide space and society.

Title: A wall with a view? The gardens at Ravensworth Castle, North Yorkshire
Abstract:
Ravensworth Castle in North Yorkshire is a well-known and frequently cited
example of a late medieval designed landscape; indeed, with its enclosed
gardens, mere, moats and terraces, it has been described as displaying
what appears to be a typical or classic medieval arrangement. As a result
of a new measured survey to the north of the castle complex, two separate
phases of medieval garden development have been recognised. The
recognition of this phased development, more frequently recorded in
sixteenth-to eighteenth-century gardens, and, equally importantly, a
consideration of what little remains of the castle itself, raises
questions as to what extent the gardens were either 'typical' or
'classic'.

Title: The house and garden of Henry Winstanley, Littlebury, Essex
Abstract:
The remarkable House of Wonders, erected in the later seventeenth century
by Henry Winstanley, the designer and builder of the first Eddystone
Lighthouse, is examined, perhaps for the first time by a landscape
historian. It is concluded that its usually accepted date is eighteen to
nineteen years too early and that it was actually built in 1695-6,
probably to help finance the construction of the lighthouse. The remains
of Winstanley's garden are also analysed, showing that it had a complex
history spread over some forty years. New light is shed on Winstanley's
life, interests and intentions revealing that he was not the wild
eccentric genius he has been considered hitherto, but was fully in touch
with contemporary thinking.

Title: The Halaesa landscape (III B.C.) as ancient example of the complex and bio-diverse traditional Mediterranean polycultural landscape
Abstract:
Southern Europe and the whole Mediterranean area are distinguished by
landscape types whose characters result from countless, long and complex
cultural and historical processes that developed in an equally complex and
varied environment. The Mediterranean rural landscape would keep these
same distinctive characteristics until the crisis of the mixed crops, and
the phenomena of urbanisation in the1960s/70s.This paper identifies the
characteristics of the Mediterranean polycultural and polyspecific
(coltura promiscua) landscape, characterised by the presence of trees
(both wild and cultivated), starting from a historical overview of the
central Mediterranean. The analysed case-study of the Halaesa landscape
(Sicily), as one of the first historical detailed descriptions of a
complex Mediterranean cultural landscape, is the result of a polycultural
agro-silvo-pastoral system which guarantees complexity and richness (in
terms of structural and biological diversity), as well as with reference
to others environmental, cultural and economic multi-functionality. The
analysis of these polycultural landscapes reveals a rich spatial
configuration and the patchiness of the land mosaic. The presence of
historical features, of traditional crops and land use, of traditional
land management, and the conservation of the rural architecture and other
material cultural heritage related to agricultural activity, as well as
the non-material cultural heritage, are particularly important aspects
considered by international and European organisations towards their
valorisation and conservation. The pressure on these landscapes and their
rapid transformation into more modern forms call out for a better
knowledge of the more complex forms of traditional land use and their
relative rural landscapes.

Title: The landscape development of the Tofts of south-east Lincolnshire 1100-1650
Abstract:
In a further dissection of the subtleties of landscape evolution in
south-east Lincolnshire, the nature and history of the Tofts is examined.
The name refers to a belt of raised silts which lie between the Low
Grounds and the Marsh. The hypotheses of the origin of this land type are
discussed and note made of the agreement that the top few metres of
sediment and soil are products of the human economy and most probably the
result of salt-making. The documentary evidence for the existence of
salterns along the medieval and early modern coast between Wainfleet and
Wrangle is summarised and it is concluded that enough of them existed to
constitute the coastline and that the creation of wastes resulted in a
seawards movement of that interface. After the cessation of salt-making in
the early seventeenth century, the reclamation of the Marsh meant that a
succession of sea-banks left the Tofts as a kind of 'fossil' feature and
their height relative to the Low Grounds and the Marsh may derive in part
from the dewatering of those two zones. The total volume of the Tofts'
waste sediments makes a case for their status as a major medieval
structure.

Title: Chapel-le-Dale, North Yorkshire: the making of an upland landscape
Abstract:
The Chapel-le-Dale valley on the north-western side of Ingleborough and
the Ribblehead area now appear to be under-populated with an economy
largely based on livestock farming. Currently, only eleven farms are
operational but at one time there were nearly forty. Much of the study
area was managed by Furness Abbey from vaccaries and subsidiary bercaries
and lodges, most of which still survive in the landscape in one form or
another. Judging from surname evidence in archival sources, monastic
tenants established themselves after the Dissolution as customary manorial
tenants developing the mix of improved enclosed pastures, unimproved
common fellside grazing, and stinted pastures, that are the essence of
today's landscape. Visible in the landscape, too, is archaeological
evidence of farming and settlement in the early medieval period, some of
which has been investigated by excavation in the area outside former
monastic lands. This article draws on archival research, and the
techniques of field and landscape archaeology, to build up a picture of
how the area developed, and changed, over the centuries.

Title: Post-medieval upland settlement and the decline of transhumance: a case-study from the Galtee Mountains, Ireland
Abstract:
This paper examines evidence for transhumance in the Galtee Mountains
during the post-medieval period, c. 1600-1900 a.d., and attempts to
explain the reasons for its decline. The results of field survey into
seasonal upland structures (or booley houses) occupied during this time
are discussed while considering the difficulties involved in their
identification and dating. In the parish of Kilbeheny, it is shown how a
number of these booley houses were used in a nineteenth-century system of
small-scale transhumance, contrasting this with what appears to have been
a more important form of the practice in the mid-seventeenth century. The
paper then goes on to demonstrate how population growth and the
commercialisation of farming in the intervening period contributed to the
marginalisation of transhumance in the regional farming economy. It is
speculated that much of the extant archaeological evidence for seasonal
settlement belongs to a post-1750, reduced, form of transhumance in which
the produce of dairying was vital to the semisubsistence farming carried
on by tenants on small and relatively new holdings in the foothills.

Title: The Landscape of the Gibbet
Abstract:
From the Murder Act of 1752 until the Anatomy Act of 1832 it was forbidden
to bury the bodies of executed murderers unless they had first been
anatomised or 'hung in chains' (gibbeted). This paper considers some of
the observations of the Wellcome-funded project 'Harnessing the Power of
the Criminal Corpse' as they relate to the practice of gibbeting. The
nature of hanging in chains is briefly described before an extensive
discussion of the criteria by which gibbets, which often remained standing
for many decades, were selected. These are: proximity to the scene of
crime, visibility, and practicality. Exceptions, in the forms of those
sentenced by the Admiralty Courts, and those sentenced in and around
London, are briefly considered. Hanging in chains was an infrequent
punishment (anatomical dissection was far more frequently practised) but
it was the subject of huge public interest and attracted thousands of
people. There was no specified time for which a body should remain
hanging, and the gibbet often became a known landmark and a significant
place in the landscape. There is a remarkable contrast between anatomical
dissection, which obliterates and anonymises the body of the individual
malefactor, and hanging in chains, which leaves a highly personalised and
enduring imprint on the actual and imaginative landscape.

Title: Home Turf: an interdisciplinary exploration of the long-term development, use and reclamation of raised bogs in the Netherlands
Abstract:
Raised bogs are popular research subjects in various scientific
disciplines such as palaeobotany, climatology, archaeology and historical
geography. However, interdisciplinary studies using a long-term cultural
perspective are rare. This paper aims to make a contribution in that field
by exploring the long-term development of raised bogs in the Netherlands,
with a main focus on man-land relations. Central are the peatlands in the
Pleistocene areas of the country that -- with regard to peat inception,
development, human use and exploitation -- show patterns that are probably
similar to those in larger parts of the North-west European Plain. Three
spatial research levels are used. The first level offers a concise summary
of the current knowledge level on bog development in the Netherlands and
adjacent areas. The second level centres on the eastern Dutch region of
Twente, and especially attempts to reconstruct the former maximum peat
cover. In this region, as in most other parts of the Netherlands, hardly
any peat remnants have survived to the present day. The third level
consists of two detailed case-studies of smaller areas in Twente. This
study shows that raised bogs, soon after they started developing, became
intrinsic parts of settlement territories and were used in spatially and
temporally varying ways. The assessment and integration of different types
of data allows a more detailed and reliable reconstruction and analysis of
long-term habitation patterns and man-land relations. The
interdisciplinary approach also demonstrates which research deficits
exist, allows new interdisciplinary questions to be asked and shows which
methods may be applied in future studies.

Title: Land of the free. Social contrasts in the Dutch 'outlands' (a.d. 1200-1900)
Abstract:
SUMMARYIn the Netherlands, most high and dry land
was settled and cultivated as early as the prehistoric period. Many
lowlands, on the other hand, remained essentially unreclaimed until well
into the Middle Ages. Since then these areas, too, have witnessed rapid
change, physically as well as socially. Usually in medieval reclamation
areas, under frontier-like conditions, settlers managed to become free
farmers. This paper discusses the interesting two-faced character of the
social developments in some of the 'outlands' along the margins of the
'civilised world'. In some areas elite groups emerged or expanded, and
castles and castle-like dwellings were shooting up far and wide, while
wilderness areas were rapidly being transformed into highly productive
arable land. Elsewhere smallholders and paupers settled, or were forced to
settle involuntarily. In the latter cases the local economy was largely
based on peat cutting and small-scale subsistence agriculture. Socially,
outlands (reclamation areas) therefore took very different paths, which is
still recognisable today. The history of these social contrasts is complex
and deserves more research. Different opportunities as well as the ability
and freedom to exploit them seem to have been key factors.

Title: Moss Rooms and Hell Holes: the landscape of the Leyland Dispute Maps, 1571-1599
Abstract:
Large-scale local maps are rare before the eighteenth century, so
for one small district in the north-west of England to have seven such
maps dating from the end of the sixteenth century is remarkable. These
maps were produced in connection with land disputes heard before the Court
of the Duchy of Lancaster and depict a mossland landscape where the
absence of natural boundary markers, and a history as an intercommon
rather than in single ownership, readily led to disputes between notably
litigious neighbouring resident landlords; while the hearing of the cases
in Westminster, rather than before local juries, generated the need for
the maps themselves, to help the court understand this unfamiliar
landscape. By definition single-purpose ephemeral objects, the maps
nevertheless often contained more information than was strictly necessary
for the case in hand and so were sometimes brought forward by the courts
or copied by the litigants for reuse in later suits. The maps today can be
regarded as texts which throw considerable light on, and help us to
reconstruct, a lost landscape of living sphagnum moss, peat diggings and
seasonal grazings, which at the time was regarded as typifying Lancashire
but which has since entirely disappeared from the county, and indeed from
England as a whole.The maps restore to us a district name, Wymott, lost
since the seventeenth century; and they capture a landscape in transition,
as the thinner peats were becoming exhausted and as much of the district
was becoming enclosed, drained and converted to farmland.

Title: Mapping peasant discontent: trespassing on manorial land in fourteenth-century Walsham-le-Willows
Abstract:
In recent years, it has largely been the domain of the landscape
archaeologist to uncover and analyse the physical terrain of the late
medieval manor. This has provided much material for the examination of
ideas of rural power, control and social organisation. Considering the
morphology of the settlement and adjacent fieldscape, it is rare, however,
to reflect upon the views of the peasantry, who would after all have made
up the majority of the population of rural communities. Using evidence
gathered from fourteenth-century manorial court rolls, this study examines
peasant attitudes to the rural landscape from an historical perspective
through the analysis of incidences of trespass on demesne and peasant land
in the Suffolk vill of Walsham-le-Willows. Unusually, these documentary
sources frequently make reference to the specific location of peasant
trespass allowing for a quantitative investigation that reveals something
of the motivation behind these seemingly petty and notionally accidental
incidents. Traditionally, cases of trespassing on neighbouring land have
been considered only fleetingly by historians, since it is generally
believed that many incidents were the result of accidental damage by
wandering livestock, or that manorial officials used court fines as a
means of licensing access. This study shows that the reality was far more
complex, and that there was a range of motivational stimuli for these
acts.

Title: Culture and identity in the early medieval fenland landscape
Abstract:
The fen-basin is located in a region in which material culture had become
largely Germanic by the mid-fifth century. This paper evaluates the
contribution made to an understanding of that process of cultural change
by place-names, archaeology and documentary records. Archaeological
evidence indicates little post-Roman abandonment of the fenland; the
region continued to be inhabited and exploited. Patterns of
intercommoning, the Tribal Hidage, and stray pieces of information
recorded by Bede and Felix, demonstrate the presence of territorial groups
across the whole basin by the mid-seventh century in a complex, almost
certainly dynamic, hierarchy of subordinate and dominant polities,
principalities and kingdoms, some with some Brittonic territorial names
and others with names based on Old English elements. Most of the people
who gave these place-names were likely to have been descended from the
Romano-British and prehistoric inhabitants of Britain. Different cultural
traditions cannot be identified in their material culture, and many may
have been bilingual. Such commonalities, together with continuity across
the region in structures governing rights of common pasture, suggest that
it is as likely that some sub-Roman polities evolved into sub-kingdoms as
it is that other polities were created anew. There is nothing so out of
the ordinary in such political changes that they might be ascribed to the
influence of incomers. The influence of migration on the evolution of
early medieval fenland culture remains enigmatic.

Title: Power, conflict and ritual on the fen-edge: the Anarchy-period castle at Burwell, Cambridgeshire, and its pre-Conquest landscape
Abstract:
Burwell, Cambridgeshire, is best known as possessing a castle constructed
by King Stephen during the mid- twelfth-century civil war commonly
referred to as ‘the Anarchy’. Documentary sources confirm
that the king built a series of fortifications around the East Anglian
fen-edge during a.d. 1144 in an attempt to restrict the
activities of the rebellious baron Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex,
who was using the Isle of Ely as a base to raid the surrounding
countryside. Written texts also reveal how de Mandeville was mortally
wounded during a skirmish or siege which subsequently took place at
Burwell. A combination of topographic and geophysical survey, supplemented
by documentary analysis, suggests that the castle was constructed in a
landscape with a complex earlier history. It is suggested that during the
Romano-British period a temple complex was developed on the site, with a
spring rising on the edge of the fens providing the likely focus for
ritual activity. Burwell later developed into an important early medieval
place and the castle itself may have been inserted into a thegnly
enclosure — an act which probably sought to appropriate a
recognised pre-existing centre of power. The current research provides the
most comprehensive assessment of the site to date, and supports existing
interpretations which consider the twelfth-century castle to be
incomplete. Analysis also gives additional insight into the functional and
symbolic significance of the castle at Burwell, and sheds important light
on the character of power and conflict in the fenland during the
mid-twelfth century.

Title: The articulation of burgages and streets in early medieval towns, part 1: the case of Bridgnorth, Shropshire
Abstract:
This study, of which this paper is the first part of two, examines one
particular aspect of the planning process in new towns of the early
medieval period in England which were set out on a rectilinear module. In
all these planned towns, the way burgages were laid out at the corners of
streets meeting at right angles will have always been problematical. The
examples of five towns, ranging in date from the late ninth to the late
twelfth century, are examined to illustrate one particular way in which
these spatial problems were resolved. Deductions are made from this
evidence concerning the contemporaneity or otherwise of streets and
burgage systems, seen as inter-functional ensembles. These observations
and deductions generate new historical narratives relating to both the
morphogenetic development of the towns studied and, in some cases, the
wider course of the development of urbanism in general. In the first part
of this study, the case of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, is taken as an exemplar
of the particular issues examined.

Title: Cartographic evidence for seventeenth-century ‘cross-sites’ in North-East Scotland: Robert Gordon of Straloch and the Blaeu maps of Scotland
Abstract:
This paper considers the cartographic depiction of a series of crosses
shown on one of Robert Gordon of Straloch’s seventeenth-century
maps of North-East Scotland. Their portrayal in map form within the
religious context of the time is problematic. Their potential existence on
the ground raises even greater problems of identity and form. That they
were not, in reality, as they were depicted on the maps is evident by the
landscape evidence. The survival of documentary evidence in the form of
the Straloch Papers moves the story from the North-East of Scotland to
Amsterdam, the place of production of the maps. These papers describe
aspects of the wider political upheavals during which these maps were made
and suggest possible motivations beyond geographic interest.

Title: Seasonal settlement and the interpretation of upland archaeology in the Galtee Mountains, Ireland
Abstract:
This paper discusses the complexity of archaeological evidence associated
with seasonal upland settlement in Ireland, a subject which has only
recently started to come to light. As a result of the lack of attention,
many uncertainties remain in the interpretation of upland sites compared
to lowland archaeology. The paper uses a case-study of the Galtee
Mountains in the south of Ireland, where it focuses on the material
culture of transhumance in the post-medieval period. It explores two
important aspects of this: first, the activities of transhumant herders in
the wider landscape as revealed by the various material remains they have
left behind; and second, the identification of chronological depth in
these landscapes, as revealed by the morphology of summer (booley) houses
and the context in which they are found.

Title: River channel planforms and floodplains: a study in the Wessex landscape
Abstract:
For south ‘Wessex’, despite complexity evident on the ground, there is little research that directly links river channel form with historic economic development; that is, channel genesis and planforms are seldom discussed in relation to landscape development within valleys. Of specific interest are relationships linking channel topography, artificial cuts and floodplains with development associated with mills, water-meadows, artificial watercourses and gravel extraction. These are an outcome of a strong regional culture of economic development including water management. It is demonstrated that river planforms within the valleys determine the location of fixed assets and there is a strong relationship between soils and floodplain development. It is concluded that there is an intricate continuum between perceived ‘natural’ fluvial process and human-influenced environmental change, and that genetic interpretation of river channel forms presents a challenge for landscape historians.

Title: Meadowlands in time: re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK
Abstract:
Historically, meadows provided an essential crop of hay and common grazing in a delicately managed sustainable system in harmony with their environment and were of vital importance to the agricultural cycle of farming communities. Using archival and remotely sensed data, this paper provides a speculative re-construction of a former floodplain water management system and examines the changing fortunes of the floodplain meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, revealing the process of change in both the physical and cultural landscape. The inevitable decline of the floodplain meadows of the Rother was part of a nationwide transformation brought about by the introduction of new farming practices operating in a fast-changing tenurial landscape, dominated by the growth of landed estates where commoners’ rights were viewed with growing contempt. Today, the current vista of the Rother reveals only remnants of the past landscape where marginal habitats, riparian fringes and meadows have made way for a monoculture of permanent pasture of poor conservation value, supporting low biodiversity and offering little to mitigate against flood risk and poor water quality. If floodplain meadow reinstatement is to be considered as part of a catchment-wide programme of landscape restoration measures then the results of this historical landscape analysis could act as a ‘guiding image’ for environmental managers and policy makers and a platform to rekindle once again community engagement with its landscape.

Title: An early Modern pheasant farm at Saint-Pathus in the Seine-et-Marne, France
Abstract:
The pheasantry of Saint-Pathus is the first of its kind to be found, excavated and identified by archaeologists in France. It can be used as a model for the identification of all kinds of enclosures intended for the breeding of birds. The remains of this rural establishment are a quadrangular trenched enclosure, with an excavated surface of 2250 m2, defined by small ditches. The internal perimeter of the enclosure is bordered by a series of small structures. On the plan of Intendance of Paris (1784), the excavated enclosure corresponds to a pheasantry, named as such. What did a pheasantry look like? To understand the vestiges, we carried out an archaeological reading of agronomic and cynegetic literature on the subject. We tried to understand what type of archaeological remains would result from a place built for the breeding of pheasants. Twenty-three eighteenth-and nineteenth-century authors inform us of the standards traditionally observed and given for the breeding of pheasants. These treatises inform us about the right location for a pheasantry and its shape, and detail the care to be given to the laying areas. On the basis of treatises, an estimation of bird production is proposed for the pheasantry at Saint-Pathus. For each one of these topics, the excavated remains are compared with the description of pheasantries in traditional agricultural manuals and books related to hunting.This archaeological excavation provides an opportunity for considering the impact of social practices on land and environment management during the Modern period (seventeenth and eighteenth century).

Title: Churchyards and cemeteries throughout the centuries — praxis and legislation
Abstract:
Cemeteries belong to spaces where a clear-cut division between public and private property is debatable. In Norway today such sites are formally considered public spaces — free to access all year round and open for all citizens independent of economic status and social belonging. In a longer time perspective both accessibility and property rights related to cemeteries have changed fundamentally. This article examines the laws and regulations which have influenced the ownership rights to cemeteries based on a close-up examination of historic documents. Concerning the burial practice in Norway, a floating border exists between private–public spaces which has been apparent since far back in time. In essence, churches and cemeteries in Norway have alternated between being privately owned or owned by the public, but this has not been decisive for people's use of the cemetery. Until approximately 1900 these areas served two purposes: on one side, burial of dead people and, on the other, to serve as a place for socially conditioned activity. Today's use, as it is described through stories told by people at the two cemeteries in question, shows that for many users these sites are still perceived as a kind of in-between area of the private–public realm. In the future the management of urban cemeteries has to balance the different demands put on such sites. This includes upholding their character as memory sites as well as ensuring that they can accommodate the new requirements of an increasingly culturally diverse urban population.

Title: Meanings of urban park landscapes as insiders and outsiders
Abstract:
This paper explores different understanding of urban park landscapes by Iranian immigrants, and develops an alternative predominant perspective of the Australian park landscape. It questions the extent to which Australian public parks contribute to the sense of inclusivity, or alienation, experienced by non-Anglo immigrant visitors of these spaces. The main focus is on the Iranian community of Melbourne, and their engagements with urban park spaces before and after migration in two different landscape contexts: Iran and Australia.This study applies Q methodology with photographs as a research method. Findings reveal that historical icons and cultural landscapes play a prominent role in inspiring meaning in Iran’s park environments, while socio-cultural activities, restoration, and bonding with the past have great importance after migration. This study also examines which landscape settings evoke the meaning of ‘paradise’ — as an important cultural concept in constructed natural landscapes — for the Iranian respondents in both contexts.

Title: Reading's Old or East Cemetery: the geological landscape of an urban burial ground in modern central Berkshire
Abstract:
The landscape of the private Old or East Cemetery in Reading was laid out as a garden, a plan popular in the early nineteenth century. Interments began in 1843 and continued after extension of the Cemetery in about 1900; in 1927 the rate of burials peaked in excess of 500 per decade. Although the town continued to grow, the interment rate subsequently plunged, in the face of competition from a new, municipal burial ground (Henley Road) in the eastern town. Burials continued at the Old Cemetery, but largely at established family plots. The Old Cemetery is now semi-wild, but in excess of 5,600 graves with accessible monuments are still to be found. The geological landscape presented by these memorials resembles that of other burial grounds in south-central and south-east England: chiefly Italian marble, Pennant sandstone, Scottish and Cornubian (Cornwall-Devon) granites, Portland limestone, and gabbro. There are minor applications of other granites, Lower Carboniferous Limestone, York stone, Banbury Ironstone, Bathstone, slate and gneiss, and some artificial stone (especially terrazzo) and cast iron. Pennant sandstone was the early stone of choice. Marble rose to great and sustained popularity from the late nineteenth century. Scottish granites had a modest but steady appeal, in contrast to granites from south-west England, which rose to prominence only in the early twentieth century. Gabbros from far overseas appeared mainly late, stimulated by the growth of cheap freight-container transport. The geological evolution of the landscape of the Old Cemetery therefore broadly matches that recorded in other burial grounds of the region, such as Oxford and west London.

Title: The articulation of burgages and streets in early medieval towns - part 2
Abstract:
This is the second part of an examination of one particular aspect of the planning process in new towns of the early medieval period in England which were set out on a rectilinear module. In all these planned towns, the way in which burgages were laid out at the corners of streets meeting at right angles will have always been problematical. Four towns (excluding Bridgnorth, discussed earlier), ranging in date from the late ninth to the late twelfth century, are examined to illustrate one particular way in which these spatial problems were resolved. Deductions are made from this evidence concerning the contemporaneity or otherwise of streets and burgage systems, seen as inter-functional ensembles. These observations and deductions generate new historical narratives relating to both the morphogenetic development of the towns studied and, in some cases, the wider course of the development of urbanism in general.

Title: Finn’s Seat: topographies of power and royal marchlands of Gaelic polities in medieval Ireland
Abstract:
Hill-and mountain-top cairns and mounds in Ireland are often viewed as epiphenomenal features of the medieval landscape. In recent years, research on early medieval ferta, ancestral burial places cited in the legal procedure of taking possession of land and invoked during disputes over land, has highlighted the role of some sepulchral cairns and mounds in boundary maintenance. This paper proposes that particular cairns and mounds, imagined at least as early as the tenth century as Finn’s Seat (Suidhe Finn), acted as territorial markers in boundary formation and continuity and signified royal marchlands (mruig ríg) where Gaelic kings went to hunt and to fight. It is argued that such lands were essentially forests, where a range of natural resources were available. A window onto royal marchlands is provided by the medieval Finn Cycle of Tales (fíanaigecht) which encode knowledge of medieval territorial boundary zones in the names of the places where the quasi-mythical warrior-hunter and border hero, Finn mac Cumaill, works for the king of Ireland, hunts with his fían (wild band) and accesses the Otherworld.

Title: A Blot on the Landscape? Civic memory and municipal public parks in early twentieth-century Manchester
Abstract:
This paper examines the decision to locate the façade of Manchester’s old Town Hall in a public park (Heaton Park) in 1912. It argues that, in so doing, the city’s Parks and Cemeteries committee was attempting to refine the didactic space of the park as a site of civic memory. The early Victorian urban parks had sought to educate their visitors through their museums, art galleries and exhibition spaces, glasshouses and carefully planned and planted walkways. The insertion into this environment of part of a former civic building was intended to remind the visitors of their civic history and to warn surrounding districts of the expansionist tendencies of the city of Manchester. The failure to identify the façade or to connect it to its surroundings meant that its meaning was ultimately lost to many parks visitors and it remained in place as a civic folly. Public parks presented the municipal authorities with an opportunity to highlight the provision of recreation and leisure facilities, but also an occasion to re-invent the municipal tradition. However, as this paper shows, such gestures were often futile in the complex and contested space of the public park.

Title: Therapeutic landscapes and nationalism: Turkey and the curative waters of Kemalism
Abstract:
Hypothesised as a promising research concern for medical geographers, the therapeutic landscape concept promised to bridge divides between methods and approaches in humanistic, structural, and critical geographies. Despite early reference to ideology and the topic’s potential, engagements with political ideas and identity politics remain underdeveloped. Analysing a range of historical sources, this article examines the therapeutic landscapes of early republican Turkey from the vantage of its guiding philosophy and identity construct, Kemalism. In doing so, it reveals the politicised and ideological nature of many therapeutic landscapes and their place in one of the major projects of the modern era: nation-building.

Title: Gardens and public parks in Cuernavaca: transformations of a cultural landscape
Abstract:
Cuernavaca is the capital city of the state of Morelos, a region which was famous since prehispanic times for its exuberant nature and precious flowers. Here, Moctezuma ii laid out the famous prehispanic garden of Huaxtepec. Unfortunately very little is left of this beautiful Aztec garden. During the eighteenth century, Manuel de la Borda, a famous New Spain aristocrat, built his country-house and garden in Cuernavaca. The Borda Garden is regarded as one of the few still existing Mexican colonial gardens. Since 1971 it has been a property of the federal government and used as a public park, but the architecture of the garden has never been restored. In the nineteenth century a public park named Melchior Ocampo was designed around seven springs, part of the woods of Amanalco, the green heart of Cuernavaca. Nowadays this public park is abandoned and reputedly dangerous. This paper aims at promoting the rescue and restoration of these historical gardens showing not only their importance as part of Mexican historical and collective memory but also as forces that can regenerate urban landscapes providing green public spaces and human health.

Title: Ambiguities of the hedge: an exercise in creative pleaching – of moments, memories and meanings
Abstract:
This paper reviews a range of published material on the English hedgerow, and its ambiguous role in both landscape history and contemporary countryside management. While there is a strand of recent landscape history scholarship that can be stridently critical of the hedge as a technology of subjection, connected invariably with Parliamentary enclosure and proletarianisation, the English hedgerow is also an iconic symbol of rural tranquillity, and mainstay of many conservation and biodiversity agendas, with hedge-laying — the practice of constructing a living hedge — championed as a key item of rural craft heritage. Making space for a dynamic biography of hedges and hedge-laying, and reflecting on an auto-ethnographic account of working on a particular hedge in Warwickshire, this paper explores the possibilities for an account of hedgerows that can steer a pathway between narratives that are critical of hedges-as-enclosure, and a conservation ambition that might seem to preserve hedges in aspic.

Title: Groves in Anglo-Saxon England
Abstract:
Sacred tree cults, including those concerning groves, have a long-established history in the Classical World, lingering on in England under Roman rule; groves had also played a central role among the Druids in late Iron Age Britain. However, such ‘pagan’ beliefs involving trees were to be curtailed under Christianity, especially following the late tenth/eleventh-century reforms within the Catholic Church. In early medieval literature woods were generally (but not always) seen as dangerous wilderness areas, places likely to try the faith of hermits. Early medieval documents and place-names are more pragmatic: the terms used are often indicative of the nature or use of woods and the grāf term seems to have been used for relatively small managed woods that often appear to have been coppiced for timber and small wood.

Title: The distribution of rabbit warrens in medieval England: an east–west divide?
Abstract:
Following their introduction into the British Isles by the Normans, rabbits were farmed in manmade warrens called coneygarths, whose so-called pillow mounds encouraged the species to burrow and facilitated their capture. The construction of pillow mounds represents a remarkably long-lived form of animal husbandry, which in some places, notably Dartmoor, remained in use until the early twentieth century. Despite some potential for surviving medieval examples, the vast majority of known pillow mounds are now thought to be post-medieval and consequently the landscapes of extant rabbit warrens are a reflection of the post-medieval warrening experience rather than that of the medieval period. Moreover, although former warrens are geographically widespread across England and Wales, their remains are more prevalent in western upland areas as an intensification of arable practices in eastern England during the postmedieval period likely removed many of that region’s former warrens. The study of documents produced by the medieval chancery reveals numerous references to rabbits and rabbit warrens throughout England, of which many have left no archaeological remains. These chancery rolls suggest that in contrast to surviving postmedieval warrens, those of the medieval period were more numerous in eastern England compared to elsewhere. They also imply that the warrens in eastern England were able to produce a surplus of rabbits that supported an export trade and supplied the royal court at Westminster, something that warrens in the remainder of England were less able to do.

Title: The control of salters (deer-leaps) in private deer-parks associated with forests: a case study using a 1608 map of Leagram park in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire
Abstract:
The legitimate means of populating a deer-park in the medieval period were principally by imparkment of woods already containing deer coverts, a royal grant of live deer, or the use of salters (deer-leaps) licensed by the monarch. Salters encouraged and enabled deer to enter parks through modified pale fence systems, but impeded their egress. Private parks within or close to forests were scrutinised to identify and control unauthorised salters entrapping royal deer.Using medieval accounts, Chancery documents, postmedieval park maps, antiquarian sources and place-name evidence, the paper reviews salter licensing and control by the Crown. Salter and pale fence designs are described and classified, and two salter types and associated fencing are defined: lowered pale fences, and ramped revetments providing a drop into the park, each with its characteristic groundworks, earthworks and topographical settings. Salters may also be associated with short offsets in the pale course.Contemporary maps showing salters are very uncommon. In 1608, a dispute between the Duchy of Lancaster and the owner of Leagram deer-park within the Duchy’s forest of Bowland, Lancashire, led to the making of an accurate, scaled map by local surveyor Roger Kenyon. Kenyon marked sixteen salters in the pale, which have been used to predict the locations of relict salters in the park boundary. An exploratory field survey, employing salter identification guidelines developed from the historical review, subsequently discovered and characterised probable salter groundworks at six of the sites.

Title: Geological resources and their exploitation in the Berkshire chalklands of the later nineteenth century: a first survey
Abstract:
The Chalk Group downlands and the closely associated outcrops of early Tertiary sediments provided to farmers, estate owners, and business men during the later nineteenth and early twentieth century a wide variety of earth-materials that were exploited at many hundreds of sites for mainly local but also regional needs. Chalk was used for soil-conditioning, road metal, flooring and hard-standing, as a walling material, and for lime-burning and the manufacture of whiting and putty. The early Tertiary silts and clays (Reading Beds, London Clay, Bagshot Beds) that unconformably overlie the Chalk Group, together with the closely associated Clay-with-Flints, were the basis of a major building-ceramic industry (bricks, tiles, chimney pots, drain-pipes) that served both regional and local markets. More than ninety kiln sites are known. Flints present in or derived from the Upper Chalk were extracted at many sites for hard-core, rough walling, typically combined with brick, and for facing and repairing important buildings, such as Victorian churches. Today almost no physical evidence of these various activities has survived in the landscape. Pits and scrapes are no longer evident in the fields and along the lanes, and smoking chimneys no longer rise above estates, villages, and towns such as Reading and Wokingham. Improvements in transportation, and a lowering of transport costs, have effected a transformation of the landscape.

Title: The (lost) life of a historic rural route in the core of Guadarrama Mountains, Madrid (Spain). A geographical perspective
Abstract:
Few studies in the geographical literature have focused on historic rural routes, which are traditionally considered to be part of the farming landscape. Today, this subject can be tackled from the perspective of changing rural spaces and the disappearance of traditional landscapes and societies. This work studies the evolution of routes that connected municipalities in a mountainous region in the north of the Madrid province, focusing on the creation and disappearance of one particular historic rural route. Various information sources are used: documentary and archival sources, fieldwork for geographical dating of the route and informal interviews and geoethnographical analysis of the elderly population of permanent residents in the area.

Title: Hard questions about hard woods: the exclusions in the Old English ‘Æcerbot’ Charm
Abstract:
The Old English charm whose rituals provide a remedy for land which is unproductive is designed to be undertaken by, for, and on behalf of, a community. Community in this instance includes not only a human component but every plant and animal that lives in or on the land in question with only two exceptions, a plant known as ‘glappan’ and a category of trees described as ‘hard trees’. This paper considers what is meant by ‘hard trees’ through an attempt to understand the practical context of application of the ritual prescribed. Interpreting the text thus allows for the possibility that the trees to be excluded are the particular individual trees which are the boundary markers of the estate.

Title: Sound in the landscape, a study of the historical literature. Part 1: the early medieval period – the sixth to eleventh century
Abstract:
While many landscapes have made an impression upon people more through visual impact other senses might also be involved, one of which was that of hearing. In the first of a series of essays this will be examined through the literature and place-names of the early medieval period. Indeed, while we cannot see the landscape as it was then seen, we can through such sources be brought closer to the actual sounds that might have been heard.

Title: ‘The Hyde’, Scaldeford and early medieval Wight
Abstract:
Upper Hyde Farm near Shanklin on the Isle of Wight was until quite recently complemented by its neighbour Lower Hyde Farm. Three landholdings named Scaldeford were recorded in 1086 totalling 1 hide. This hide farm can be reconstructed to include Upper and Lower Hyde farms, nearby Ninham Farm and the adjoining deserted site of Selbournes, with a total area of 453 acres. Other instances of shared Domesday place-names on the Isle of Wight are explored as are further instances of landholdings of 1 hide in 1066. The hide farm of Scaldeford would have formed part of a putative multiple estate centred on Brading, which in turn had been part of the regio of the wiht gara. The existence of other hide farms is postulated through two instances of ‘lost’ hīd place-names and the association between potentially early place-names and estates of 1 hide in 1066. The Scaldeford hide farm can be seen as a ‘pioneering hide’ akin to examples of hiwisc from Somerset. Earlier research based on the reconstruction of charter bounds on the Isle of Wight is compared with such hiwisc units to develop a broad correlation between the acreages of hides and the agricultural potential of the land. Appendices provide additional information about the ecological history of the Scaldeford area and the earthwork within the reconstructed hide which formed part of its internal boundary.

Title: The path to the monastery: monastic communication networks in the southern Welsh Marches
Abstract:
This paper presents evidence, still often observable in the field, of a coherent and managed network of roads and tracks in the orbit of medieval monasteries and their estates: a component of a wider Ph.D. research project examining to what extent elements of medieval monastic topography can be discerned within the historic landscape of the southern Welsh Marches.The landscapes associated with three case studies in the area (the Cistercian abbeys of Llantarnam and Tintern, and the Augustinian priory of Llanthony) provide the examples drawn on here. Three routeways in particular, one from each house, are described.The popular view of medieval roads and routeways is that they were much like medieval life: poorly maintained, difficult to progress along and generally only used for localised traffic and travel. But were they always that bad? This paper presents examples to suggest that medieval abbeys and priories were using and improving communication networks across their landed possessions in a more sustained and systematic way.The postulated monastic trods and track-ways introduced here — routes used for trade, for pilgrimage, for travellers to and from the monastery — help to challenge received wisdom that pre-modern roads were uniformly primitive, difficult and very much non-permanent. In fact, a transition of routes from general directions of travel into defined, maintained roads and paths can be heralded as one of the main topographical legacies of the monastic period.

Title: An open strip-field system at its tipping point in the German-Dutch River Dinkel catchment. Part 1
Abstract:
Three questions have been addressed. Firstly, where in the pre-nineteenth-century landscape did farmers hold strips, camps, meadows and shares in the commons? Secondly, did farmers each own strips and camps or were some specialised strip and others exclusively ‘camp’ farmers? Finally, can we corroborate or reject one of the alternative hypotheses: strip-field-first versus camp-first. The area of interest is the current cadastral district cum medieval parish Epe at today’s German-Dutch border as pars pro toto for the surrounding area of about 100 km diameter in the North-West European cover sand belt. Our key data source was the 1827 cadastre complemented by the historical topographic map and geological, soil and elevation maps. For population estimates, we used six tax registers from 1499–1750. All parcels per farmstead were identified in the cadastral registry, farms located on parcel maps and hamlet territories delineated as the aggregate of its farms. The following farm features were extracted from the cadastre and averaged per settlement: number of strips and strip-fields, parcel type, farm size, tenure, number of meadows, oak camps, crop camps, and pasture camps. Next, the following landscape features were identified from the map set per settlement: farmstead pattern, type of settlement, commons, strip-field, soil, and watercourse. We present the introduction, the materials and methods section, the historical and landscape context in Part 1, followed in Part 2 by our findings, a discussion, a hypothetical narrative consistent with our findings, and answers to our research questions.

Title: Measuring long-term landscape change using historical photographs and the WSL Monoplotting Tool
Abstract:
This paper assesses the potential of software developed by the research group of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) in order to georeference and vectorise historical landscape photographs. The use of this ‘Monoplotting’ Tool introduces a new application for topographical photographs and opens up the possibility of using such photographs for measuring land-use change. This paper reviews the literature on the use of historical photographs for landscape history. It introduces the new software and then goes on to examine how vectorised topographical photographs may help in the measurement of land-use changes in the mountainous landscape of Liguria and Trentino in the late nineteenth and twentieth century.

Title: The Walkhampton Enclosure (Devon)
Abstract: At Walkhampton, west Devon, a continuous line of field boundaries apparently represents the remains of two sides and three corners of a roughly rectangular enclosure of c. 175 hectares. We argue on stratigraphic grounds that the Walkhampton Enclosure (WE) pre-dates the Norman Conquest. It was sited strategically — defended by watercourses to the west and south, and located where two important long-distance roads merged to cross the River Walkham. At its centre lies Welltown Farm (probably once Bickwell), whose earliest known form was a twelfth-century hall; it is set within a pear-shaped embanked enclosure. It is likely that the WE played a key role in West Saxon control of the area in the early ninth century, before the establishment of the burh at Lydford. Walkhampton was a royal manor at the time of the Domesday survey; we suggest that the old territory of Roborough hundred was ‘royalised’ by a West Saxon king, with its centre transferred to Walkhampton. The WE may be interpreted as a late Saxon inland, administratively a royal manor liable to render a contribution to the ‘farm of one night’, supporting a peripatetic royalty and other important officials.

Title: A seventeenth-century Warwickshire Estate Map
Abstract: Hall sites are a common feature in the Tame-Cole-Blythe-Bourne valleys in the northern part of the ‘Forest’ of Arden (Warwickshire). Often they are first recorded in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries and lie either very close to or immediately adjacent to parish boundaries. A map of Holt Hall farm, Over Whitacre, from 1688, along with surviving documentary evidence, allows for a detailed exploration of how such a site might have evolved from the medieval period to the early eighteenth century. The article examines the social and economic context of the Arden pays and the evolution of landscape of the parish against the background of piecemeal enclosure and emergence of economic individualism amongst the peasantry. It then considers and evaluates the various processes which may have led to the development of the Holt Hall estate depicted in the 1688 map.

Title: Typological variation in pre-modern settlement morphology in the Clashindarroch Forest, Aberdeenshire
Abstract: An extensive area of relict field systems and settlements survive within the Clashindarroch Forest, managed by Forestry Commission Scotland. This paper considers certain typological distinctions between a number of the settlement complexes and suggests the existence of a type of enclosed and lightly defended farmstead complex not formerly suspected in the area.

Title: Topographical art and landscape history: Elizabeth Fanshawe (1779–1856) in early nineteenth-century Liguria
Abstract: This paper considers the value of amateur topographical art of the early nineteenth century as a source, combined with fieldwork, for the understanding of past landscapes and environments of the Ligurian Apennines. Political and social changes following the Congress of Vienna (1815) enabled the number of English travelling to Italy to increase dramatically. The enormous popularity of artists and poets such as J. M. W. Turner and Lord Byron further encouraged the growth of visitors. In this paper we consider the work of a recently re-discovered amateur artist Elizabeth Fanshawe (1779–1856) who travelled to Italy 1829–31 with her two sisters Catherine and Penelope. We examine their social and political milieu and examine their great interest in art which ranged from old masters to modern art and their own drawings. We focus on six of Elizabeth Fanshawe's topographical drawings and identify problems around the identification of the views depicted and the potential value of the drawings as sources for understanding past landscapes. Other sources used include fieldwork, oral history, local archives and historical maps. The paper demonstrates that the drawings have considerable value in identifying and locating past management practices, including grazing, the cultivation of olives and chestnuts, and the rapid development network of new roads which helped to establish the Kingdom of Sardinia after 1815. The paper demonstrates that amateur topographical art is a valuable source for landscape history.

Title: The South Oxfordshire Project: perceptions of landscape, settlement and society, . 500–1650
Abstract: Historians and archaeologists are increasingly interested in moving beyond landscape reconstruction and economics to investigate how past inhabitants perceived their environment. This reflects the subject's intrinsic interest and an awareness of the importance of decisions made by ordinary people in shaping the development of the countryside. However, the evidence available makes it difficult to uncover mentalities and attitudes. To date, most attention has been paid to particular features which seem to say most about self-perception and beliefs, but the greatest advances will arguably be made by studying the landscape as a whole. This article explains the approach to popular perceptions being adopted by ‘The South Oxfordshire Project’, an interdisciplinary analysis of fourteen parishes encompassing lowland clay vales and Chilterns wood-pasture from the early Middle Ages to the mid seventeenth century.

Title: The design philosophy of Edenic gardens: tracing ‘Paradise Myth’ in landscape architecture
Abstract:
This paper explores the Eden mythology in both western and eastern cultures, and its reflection on people’s perception and use of nature. It aims to examine how cultural ideologies and systems of beliefs in relation to Eden have affected landscape making and how landscape icons influenced other cultures subsequently. This study describes how narratives of Eden evolved and influenced landscape design by explaining the narratives of Paradise and Arcadia in eastern and western cultures as two distinct landscape narratives, with a brief history of their emergence and evolution. It discusses the ways in which landscape architecture reflects the prevailing attitudes towards nature in a society by studying the ancient world’s philosophies and ideologies as a starting-point for this investigation. The paper then focuses on the Persian paradise garden and explains the notion of iconography, as a visual explanation of an idea in landscape design. It projects the transformation of Persian paradise gardens’ icons and patterns in landscape architecture through historical and spatial explorations.

Title: A Landscape for the Sultan, an architecture for the eye: Edirne and its fifteenth-century royal tower
Abstract:
This present essay is about the visibility properties of Early Modern Ottoman architecture and its contribution to the formation of a politically and culturally significant landscape. By using the royal tower of Edirne (Cihannüma Kasri), a structure of the mid-fifteenth century, as a case study, the impact of architecture in the visualisation of the cultural and political meanings of Ottoman urban and rural landscape is explored in an effort to reveal the interconnections between architectural design and landscape during the Early and Classical Ottoman Period (fifteenth– sixteenth centuries). This task is assisted by a variety of imagery that narrates the history of the royal tower as well as its interconnection with other aspects of its built and natural environment, thus visualising a unique assembly of meanings and spatial properties. Furthermore, this view is related to comparable developments in Renaissance Italy, thus seeing the relevant Ottoman developments within the context of wider socio-economic changes in the fourteenth– fifteenth-century Mediterranean.

Title: ‘Saved from the sordid axe’: representation and understanding of pine trees by English visitors to Italy in the eighteenth and nineteenth century
Abstract:
Pine trees were frequently depicted and celebrated by nineteenth-century English artists and travellers in Italy. This paper examines how British visitors gained knowledge of Italian trees through drawings, paintings and prints, before and during their visits to Italy. It considers knowledge of pines by late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century authorities such as William Gilpin and John Claudius Loudon and then focuses on the representation and understanding of pines in three contrasting sites: the pines of Rome, the coastal pines of Liguria and finally the famous pine wood of Ravenna. These trees were also an important element of local agriculture and the authors combine the analysis of local land management records, paintings and travellers’ accounts to reclaim differing understandings of the role of the pine in nineteenth-century Italy.

Title: Urbanising rainforests: emergent socioecologies in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Abstract:
Recently included on the UNESCO World Heritage list, the urban forests of Rio de Janeiro are one of the most thorough expressions of the more-than-human character of the so-called ‘cultural landscapes’. Far from pristine nature, Rio’s forests are plant communities that developed on land previously used for agriculture, energy and water supply, and human habitation, among other purposes. Traces of such activities can still be seen in every corner of these forests, currently protected areas. Some of the human marks are very conspicuous and can be noticed by anyone: water tanks, stairways, arches, banana plantations, and the like. But some other traces are so organically integrated in the landscape that only a trained eye can discern them; for example, whole sections of forest dominated by jackfruit, an Asian species, and small plateaus carved into the hillside with a strangely blackened soil. In this article, we investigate the origins of these two kinds of landscape features. Based on primary written sources and iconography, in addition to the relevant historiography, this work of historical reconstruction reveals an inextricable interpenetration between socio-economic and cultural processes — such as cash crop expansion and urban sprawl — on the one hand and bio-ecological processes — such as secondary succession and ecosystem invasion — on the other. In fact, as we argue, both are part of the same moving life-world, a continuous web of more-than-human relationships that generates both city and forest. This socionatural dialectic is responsible for Rio de Janeiro currently being a city full of forests which, if carefully inspected, reveal themselves full of urban history.

Title: The transition of Wytham Woods from a working estate to unique research site (1943–1965)
Abstract:
Diaries written by Charles Elton and other unpublished material from 1942–1965 illustrate the state of Wytham Woods and debates about its management in the first two decades after the estate came into the ownership of Oxford University. They reveal a legacy of wartime activity, the problems of rabbit control and the tensions between the different departments in the University. The Forestry Department sought to manage most of the Woods as a resource for teaching the then prevailing ideas of modern productive forestry: most of the Woods should therefore be converted to plantation. Elton and others regarded the rates of felling and replanting, the loss of old trees, as a serious threat to the value of the Woods from an ecological research perspective. In 1961, the University sided with the ecologists and active forestry management largely ceased. The legacy of this period survives though in the composition and structure of the Woods today. The issues and debates at Wytham foreshadow many of those that took place in the 1970s and 1980s between foresters and conservationists more generally across Britain.

Title: Landscapes of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) in Britain — their ancient origins
Abstract:
Sweet chestnut Castanea sativa has been regarded as a Roman archaeophyte in Britain ever since a debate in the eighteenth century contested whether it was indigenous or introduced. This paper re-examines its status, presenting new evidence within an ‘historical ecology’ analytical framework. Sweet chestnut trees and coppice stools from 237 sites across England and Wales were assessed using genetic, dendrochronological, palaeoenvironmental, archaeological, and historical analyses. Seven types of ‘sweet chestnut landscape’ were identified: ancient inclosures/ groves; ancient coppice woods; historic boundaries; historic gardens; ancient deer parks and historic parklands; historic formal avenues; and more recent high forest and production coppice. Genetic analysis has indicated that the sources of the oldest British sweet chestnut trees and stools lie in parts of France, Spain, Portugal and Italy which were refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum. Tree and stool antiquity are verified for the first time through clonal analysis and dendrochronology. The earliest written record of sweet chestnut growing in Britain found in this study was a.d. 1113, referencing a boundary marker tree for Goldcliff Priory in south-east Wales. Later twelfth-century records evinced localised coppiced woods, nut production and ‘totemic’ plantings of individual trees in noble house and garden settings. By the eighteenth century sweet chestnut was extensively planted in designed parklands and avenues; and in woods, mostly as ‘industrial’ coppice. Present-day ‘landscapes of sweet chestnut’ are endowed with ancient trees, stubs and coppice stools of great significance for cultural and ecological interests.

Title: The history and archaeology of temporary medieval camps: a possible example in Wales
Abstract:
The paper begins with a discussion of the problems involved in establishing the location, layout and functions of temporary medieval camps in Britain. It then examines the historical and archaeological evidence for a possible camp created for Edward i in the spring of 1284 after his conquest of Wales. This camp may have been relevant for discussions of political, social, military and commercial matters between the victors and losers of the war, and held as a Round Table. But its actual location may shed further light on Edward’s deep belief in his symbolic inheritance.

Title: An open strip-field system at its tipping point in the German-Dutch River Dinkel catchment. Part 2
Abstract:
Three questions have been addressed. Firstly, where in the pre-nineteenth-century landscape did farmers hold strips, camps, meadows and shares in the commons? Secondly, did farmers each own strips and camps or were some specialised strip and others exclusively ‘camp’ farmers? Finally, can we corroborate or reject one of the alternative hypotheses: strip-field-first versus camp-first.The area of interest is the current cadastral district cum medieval parish Epe at today’s German-Dutch border as pars pro toto for the surrounding area of about 100 km diameter in the North-West European cover sand belt. Our key data source was the 1827 cadastre complemented by the historical topographic map and geological, soil and elevation maps. For population estimates, we used six tax registers from 1499–1750. All parcels per farmstead were identified in the cadastral registry, farms located on parcel maps and hamlet territories delineated as the aggregate of its farms. The following farm features were extracted from the cadastre and averaged per settlement: number of strips and strip-fields, parcel type, farm size, tenure, number of meadows, oak camps, crop camps, and pasture camps. Next, the following landscape features were identified from the map set per settlement: farmstead pattern, type of settlement, commons, strip-field, soil, and watercourse. In Part 1, we provided the introduction, the materials & methods section, and the historical and landscape context (Gils & Mölder 2019a). In this Part 2, we present our findings, a discussion, a hypothetical narrative consistent with our findings, and answers to our research questions.

Title: Landscape, territory and common rights in medieval East Yorkshire
Abstract:
The paper examines issues of landscape, territory and common rights, with specific reference to the multi-township, multi-manor parish of Burton Agnes in the north-east Yorkshire Wolds. Burton was a territorial unit of considerable antiquity which survived as a distinct estate until the late twelfth century when it was split between coheiresses. This produced a complex territorial and tenurial situation, characterised in the later medieval period by ongoing conflicts over common rights between neighbouring manorial families on behalf of themselves and their various tenants. Crucially — given the lack of adequate commons governance structure — such conflicts proved not only almost impossible to resolve but also productive in documentary terms. This paper examines the far-reaching consequences of the 1199 division of the estate in two linked sets of sources: firstly, by using legal documents and estate records to examine conflicts about common rights in the parish moor in the later medieval period; and secondly and relatedly, by utilising standing buildings, landscape and documentary sources to interrogate the built landscape as a site to articulate territorial claims (including to rights and resources in the parish moor) and the patronage thereof by local manorial families. In this sense, the paper both traces the consequences of earlier territorial arrangements and explores the range of strategies by which local manorial families might make and mark territory in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In doing so, the paper makes the case for writing ‘grounded’ historical geographies of the commons which both set individual commons within their wider temporal, spatial and territorial contexts and recognise them as always entangled within the broader politics and landscape of the parish.

Title: Establishing architectural typology of eighteenth-century Bundeli gardens — characteristics and extent, with reference to the gardens of Rajnagar/Khajuraho
Abstract:
Bundelkhand is a region in central India, its identification based on its peculiar socio-cultural values. During the sixteenth to nineteenth century Bundelkhand was under the reign of Bundela kings. The architectural edifices of Bundela rulers lie in all parts of Bundelkhand including popular places like Orchha, Datia and Khajuraho. Other than the palaces, forts and temples, Bundelkhand has a number of gardens created by the Bundela rulers. These gardens are an important link to the socio-cultural history of Bundelkhand, but they lie neglected. Rajnagar is a small village, only 3 km north of the World Heritage Site of Khajuraho, in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh. The village was a prominent political centre during the eighteenth to nineteenth century, under the Chhatarpur princely state. As many as sixteen Bundeli gardens exist in Rajnagar! Similar gardens were found all over Bundelkhand during research visits by the authors. There is no previous research available about the typology and characteristics of these gardens, and the current research paper is a first attempt to describe the architecture of the Bundeli gardens and its extent in the region, citing examples in the Chhatarpur district. The research paper aims to establish the typology, including the period of construction of these eighteenth-century Bundeli gardens, based on architectural analysis.

Title: St Michael’s, Tilehurst: geological developments since the Enlightenment in a rural-to-urban graveyard in central Berkshire
Abstract:
Divided into unequal parts by New Lane Hill, the large graveyard at St Michael’s Church makes a substantial contribution to the landscape of Tilehurst, an independent medieval settlement episodically absorbed into the modern town of Reading as it grew westward. Memorialised burials began here in the eighteenth century and continued without a break at an increasing rate up to the present. A total of 2,446 memorials (ashes burials excluded) can now be seen, of which 300 (12.3 per cent) cannot be dated, mainly for preservational reasons. A wide variety of geological and some artificial materials have been used for memorials. The most prevalent of British origin are Cornubian granites and Portland stone, the latter from the earliest burials onward. The most prevalent rocks from overseas are Italian marble, generic granites, diorites-gabbros, and microgabbros. Minor use was made of Scottish granites (Aberdeen, Peterhead), Upper Carboniferous sandstones (including Millstone Grit and Pennant sandstone), generic limestones (including Nabresina and Lower Carboniferous limestones), Norwegian larvikite, slates, and gneisses/ migmatites. The seldom-used artificial materials include terrazzo and concrete. These various materials appear in the graveyard in a well-defined temporal sequence that reflects successive, cost-reducing advances in national and international transport (turnpike roads to shipping freight containers). Changes in local taste over time are reflected in the design of the monuments, ‘Georgian’ headstones giving way to Gothic, in turn replaced by art deco, and then modern. The rate of memorialisation fell during historical periods of economic hardship, when non-essential goods and services were less affordable. The Napoleonic Wars, the Great Agricultural Depression, and the two World Wars are all recognisable in the temporal pattern of dated burials as relative wealth fluctuated.

Title: From tref(gordd) to tithe: identifying settlement patterns in a north Pembrokeshire parish
Abstract: This paper reports on research that uses a broad range of evidence to examine settlement patterns and field systems in a Welsh-speaking area of north Pembrokeshire where poor medieval documentation restricts conventional research. Using regressive analysis of the 1841 Tithe Schedule and documentary research into individual properties on the 1786 Land Tax list, there emerges a post-medieval settlement pattern of clustered groups of farmsteads and cottages in areas of intermixed holdings, with farmsteads in isolated positions reflecting a process of piecemeal enclosure and consolidation. In the First Edition six-inch 1888 Ordnance Survey map this pattern is obscured by roadside settlement and enclosure of common land and shared pasture, arising from an early nineteenth-century increase in small-scale owner-occupation. A concomitant decline in the numbers of large absentee landowners signals significant change in the earlier settlement pattern which was strongly affected by the capacity (or otherwise) of competing major landowners to enclose and reorganise land in a non-manorialised parish. Place-names track this process of enclosure, with landholdings at the heart of settlement clusters sharing names that are first recorded between the fourteenth and late sixteenth century. Outlying farmsteads bear later names that attest to previous use as moor and shared pasture and, with field-names, provide evidence of a medieval agricultural pattern of infield-outfield, with small open fields adjacent to loosely nucleated hamlets of probable bond origin.

Title: Water management in the Fens before the introduction of pumps
Abstract: Much has been written about the seventeenthcentury draining of the (peat) Fens debouching into The Wash but there are some persistent misunderstandings and also issues on which information is lacking. Some of the main issues relate to: relationships between drainage and navigation; management of water levels; and the antecedents of the scheme undertaken by Cornelius Vermuyden from 1649. These uncertainties are additional to the over-riding lesson of this enterprise, that the peat Fens as a whole could not be drained successfully in the absence of pumps, initially windmills, to lift water over waterway embankments to compensate for shrinkage of the peat once drained. These lessons enable us the better to appreciate the achievements of the Anglo-Saxons and their successors in defending the silt lands and modifying the channel network in the peat areas; much of this network modification was apparently for transport purposes, the peat lands acting as a vast flood storage area. From the mid-thirteenth century, Commissions of Sewers were established in response to disasters and the failure of customary maintenance arrangements; these Commissions reflect the scale and sophistication of the inherited infrastructure but we do not know how the works had originally been organised and executed.

Title: William Andrews Nesfield and the origins of the landscape architect
Abstract: This article challenges the assumption that Frederick Law Olmsted was the first to call himself a landscape architect in the 1860s. Systematic study of archival records establishes that William Andrews Nesfield (1794–1881), an overlooked but pivotal practitioner in Victorian England, used the title as early as 1849. Dismissed by many historians as a revivalist of parterres and Italianate terraces, Nesfield encouraged the burgeoning field of landscape architecture by elevating the vocational landscape designer to professional landscape architect, expanding his audience from aristocratic clientele to the general public, and shifting his focus from rural estates to urban and suburban sites. That Olmsted stands in a landscape by Nesfield, as identified by Antonetti, when musing on his future profession, further demonstrates that Nesfield is an essential addition to the landscape studies canon. That Nesfield had broad disciplinary training and practiced a more rigorously comprehensive style of design than traditional garden design sheds new light on the origins of landscape architecture and its more expansive role in landscape studies.

Title: Crafting Clumber: the Dukes of Newcastle and the Nottinghamshire landscape
Abstract: Clumber Park in north Nottinghamshire, England, was the principal family home of the Dukes of Newcastle-under-Lyne [sic] between 1768 and 1928. This article considers the contribution of the second, fourth and seventh Dukes of Newcastle to the landscape management and development of the parkland. The article concentrates upon the period between c. 1760 (when the property began to be developed seriously by the second duke) and c. 1851 when the fourth duke died. Particular attention is paid to the work and influence exerted over Clumber's landscape development by William Sawrey Gilpin, the noted follower of Uvedale Price and the proponent of picturesque principles. Gilpin's work at Clumber was noted contemporaneously but the extent of his influence has become more apparent with the publication of the fourth duke of Newcastle's diaries. The concluding section of the article considers the (now iconic) chapel developed in the park by the Anglo-Catholic seventh duke. Whilst most of Clumber's standing structures were subsequently dismantled before passing into the care of the National Trust in 1946, the modern parkland continues to exhibit the features of picturesque landscaping developed during the formative period of the Newcastle family's possession of the estate.

Title: Exploring the landscape dimension of the early medieval churches. A case study from A Mariña region (north-west Spain)
Abstract:
Despite the long tradition of studies on early medieval churches, little is still known about the reasons behind the selection of specific places for building churches between the fifth to tenth centuries a.d. Thanks to some rich historical documents, the region of A Mariña (Galicia, north-west Iberia) represents an exceptional case study in order to analyse the spatial logic behind the creation of the early medieval ecclesiastical landscapes. This objective is pursued by means of the application of GIS and spatial statistics for the study of the locational patterns of these first Christian buildings. As this is a first attempt, we started from the formal analysis of topographic variables; then a settlement model for the churches was defined, and next used to analyse specific trends on their locational dynamics. The results allow us to propose that the location of the early medieval churches should be related to visual and territorial control over some specific areas of the landscape (mainly settlements and natural resources). This suggests that, despite the variety of church founders, some kind of collective planning of the church network did happen during the early Middle Ages. This fact can be historically explained as a key part of power strategies aimed at the creation of a new territorial articulation during this period.

Title: Sound in the landscape, a study of the historical literature. Part 2: the medieval period — the eleventh to fifteenth century (and beyond)
Abstract:
Following on from an earlier essay exploring the role of sound in the landscape in the early medieval period (Hooke with Bintley 2019), this essay, although not attempting to offer a comprehensive review, continues the exploration of literary references to such sound, again conveying impressions from a period for which no actual recordings can survive. Some of the material offered here, such as the Irish literature, is of possibly much earlier origin but only survives in later manuscripts. Much of the literature of the Middle Ages is more concerned with the activities of the aristocracy, such as tournaments and hunting, and conveys much less of the everyday world of the farmer and peasant.

Title: The management of a Gloucestershire rabbit warren in the mid-seventeenth century
Abstract:
Pillow mounds, long grassy tumps evident in the landscape, were constructed quite widely in Gloucestershire to facilitate the breeding of rabbits for both their meat and their fur. Many probably date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Documentary evidence of the management of the rabbit warrens in the county, however, is not common. The survival of seventeenth-century memoranda and leases about Lasborough warren has provided a picture of this specialised form of husbandry.

Title: Native American landscape modification in pre-settlement south-west Georgia
Abstract:
Our objective was to interpret the presence and magnitude of landscape modification by Native Americans on Georgia’s southern coastal plain. Specifically, we aimed to understand how the Native American presence influenced the distribution of fire-tolerant, mast-bearing and fruit-bearing tree species in the fire-dominated landscape of south-west Georgia.Our study area was comprised of sixteen contiguous counties in the south-west region of Georgia, in southeast USA bordering the Atlantic, investigating the taxon Angiosperms and Gymnosperms native to the early landscape of this region.We used witness tree data collected during the early 1820s across sixteen modern-day counties to reconstruct pre-settlement forest composition, particularly pyrophillic trees that are well-adapted to tolerate fire, and mast- and fruit-bearing species. We then used geographic distribution models (Boosted Regression Tree) to interpret the presence and magnitude of landscape modification by Native Americans on Georgia’s forested south-west plain.The pre-settlement distribution of pyrophillic and mast-bearing trees within our study area were best explained by a combination of environmental (topographic relief, proximity to riparian zones, and soil depth) and Native American factors (AUC = 0.64 and 0.66, respectively).However, the addition of Native American presence as predictors greatly increased the explanatory power of soft mast (fruit)-bearing models (AUC = +0.17).Our results demonstrate that Native American activities had a measurable influence on pre-settlement plant communities in south-western Georgia. However, the effects of these activities on vegetative composition were most notable in the distributions of fruit-bearing trees. In contrast, distributions of fire-tolerant and mast-bearing taxa were found to be largely explained by a combination of environmental and anthropogenic factors.

Title: The function of open-field farming – managing time, work and space
Abstract:
Open fields were a dominant agricultural feature in Central, Western and Northern Europe for nearly a millennium. The spatial organisation of villages and the degree of communal management of common resources varied, but the basic characteristics and common features of the open-field system were that individual holdings were fragmented into several small unfenced plots and intermingled in one or more fields. Research on the subject is extensive, and several explanations for its cause(s) have been presented; however, the answer regarding the question of its rationale and persistence over time is still up for debate.The overarching aim of this article is to present new findings concerning open-field farming from a functional and practical perspective. What were the farming practices and how was the spatial organisation in open fields integrated in those practices? This article shows that the common practice in Skaraborg County, Sweden, was diversification by using different crops. In the village of Kleva, the preparation of plots and the planting of different crops was carried out in a sequence. Sources indicate that the scattered plots in open fields were integrated into that sequence and that certain plots were designated for certain crops to be sown at a certain moment in time. In the village of Kleva, open fields were used to cater to precision farming as a way to manage time, work and space.

Title: The energyscape of the lower Thames and Medway: Britain’s changing patterns of energy use
Abstract:
This article examines the history of the energy landscape — the energyscape — of the lower River Thames and Medway from the 1860s to the present. It explores why, and in what ways, the energy industries have exploited the area and its landscape. Key factors include its accessibility for ocean-going shipping; the proximity to energy consumers in London and south-east England; the availability of large areas of land; and water resources. The energy industries included oil storage and refining; petrochemicals; gas manufacture and handling; and electricity generation and distribution. The article argues that the development of energy infrastructure in the Thames/ Medway landscape reflects the shifting patterns of energy use in the UK. For example, the recent demolition of Grain and Kingsnorth power stations — prominent north Kent landmarks since the 1970s — exemplifies the decline of coal and oil as primary fuels for electricity generation. Similarly, the seascape of the outer Thames estuary has been transformed by the advent of renewable energy and the construction of four major offshore wind farms. The article demonstrates how patterns of energy use are a mosaic of social needs, technological capabilities, environmental concerns, political expediency, and economic forces. The Thames/ Medway energyscape has developed, evolved and been adapted to these influences, and continues to support the energy needs of the UK economy.

Title: Identifying mid-twentieth-century historical trends in United States game law violations: any basis for conservation?
Abstract:
The mid-twentieth-century was an important period for game laws in the United States. Identifying trends in game law enforcement can help identify violations that occurred more and less over time (e.g. species that have had more or less violations at a particular time). There has been little research on species emphasis with regard to game laws, with respect to historical game law roots in mid-twentieth-century America. For this study, 10,062 violations were identified from randomly selected states including Kansas, North Carolina, Florida, and Oklahoma. New Jersey and Massachusetts were used from a prior nineteenth-century study and used twentieth-century data for this analysis. The results of this study revealed that fishing violations or hunting/ fishing without a license composed the majority of violations and there were some significant differences between species, number of fines, amounts of fines, violations that resulted in jail, and number of acquittals. Potential reasons for these results are discussed. Future studies could encapsulate more states with various ecosystems and biota (e.g. coastal states or Midwestern states) to better understand the majority and minority of species-specific enforcement trends in those states.

Title: Medieval and early modern management of the River Lymn and Wainfleet Haven (east Lincolnshire, England)
Abstract:
The post-Roman evolution of the landscape of coastal east Lincolnshire exhibits regional links from early medieval times in the case of major fen and sea banks, to which can be added local links and actions for bank-building, pasture reclamation, harbours, fisheries, and the impress of local government. In a landscape much defined by water, now largely insignificant watercourses were once the scene of considerable concern. In the case of the Lymn, the instrumental role played by local magnates is dominant, but the input of local communities in undertaking and often benefiting from the actual labour also diversifies the overall picture. The Supplementary Material facility is used to expand on a number of points germane, but not central, to the main narrative.

Title: Hunting ground, agricultural land and the forest: sustainable interdependency in Mughal India 1526–1707
Abstract:
The Mughal society had two salient characteristics: it was agrarian and had a complex imperial hunting culture. The enactment of cultivation and the hunt, both vital to the state in different respects, transformed the natural environment of forested spaces which were appropriated for cultivation and hunting needs. These needs, along with the prevailing attitudes towards forests as spaces of lawlessness and hostility, generated a demand for deforestation. The paper proposes that this demand resulted in differentiating the ‘natural landscape’ (the forest) from the ‘modified landscape’ of the imperial shikargah (hunting ground), which were sited on deforested land at the edge of cultivated spaces. It argues that the Mughals viewed the shikargah as a transitional zone between the cultivated land and the uncultivated forest as it established a continuity between hunting and agricultural practices. Symbolic notions of harmony that were said to exist between the two spaces, and proximity of wildlife and shikargahs to agriculture, formed the basis of this continuity. The paper also proposes that while the cultivated land and shikargah were often seen as conflictual spaces due to the detrimental effect of hunting practices on agricultural growth, they were also seen as mutually beneficial spaces due to the contributions the sophisticated hunting practices made to agriculture. It discusses the various processes through which the Mughal emperor dealt with the dichotomy of imperial hunting practices and its impact on agriculture and forestry. The paper concludes that a sustainable interdependency existed between these three important components of Mughal landscapes in terms of spatial, cultural and political perspectives.

Title: Scotland’s formal landscapes surveyed on General Roy’s military map of Scotland
Abstract:
Mature designed landscapes planted c. 1700 are visible on General Roy’s Great Map of Scotland (1747 to 1755). The Scottish formal style, or Scottish Historical Landscape as it is known, was developed by the landscapists Sir William Bruce and Alexander Edward, and by the outstanding designer John Erskine, 6th Earl of Mar, Secretary of State for Scotland and later leader the Jacobite Rising of 1715. Essentially French in form but with avenues directed on natural and historical sites, the Scottish style achieved unique characteristics. The essay argues that recognition of the style, which is long overdue, will enable its evaluation as a Scottish national historical resource. The study contributes to current research on the impact of French designing beyond the European centres, and it will help disentangle the Scottish style’s characteristics from the dominant historiographies of the Picturesque.A selection of sites on Roy’s map were traced through nineteenth-century maps and compared with surviving contemporary mapping resources including aerial and satellite photographs. This enabled an evaluation Roy’s reliability for identifying these landscapes: instances of misplaced features and misaligned avenues were found. In addition, the digitisation of Roy for the National Library of Scotland’s website has distorted distances but the map’s geometry is generally sound.The study disclosed unknown designed features such as splayed or perspectival avenues. Dice-style or quincuncial planting, panorama terraces and roundels have been noticed by other researchers but the study reveals them to be far more numerous than presently thought. Finally, a new type of landscape adapted to mountainous sites is described.

Title: Loch drainage and improvement in Scotland
Abstract:
This paper sets out a history of loch (lake) drainage during the Improvement period in Scotland. A range of case studies are presented that trace the practice from before the eighteenth century through the second half of the nineteenth century. Evidence is presented to suggest that drainage was viewed during the Improvement period as essential to new agricultural practices implemented at this time. The importance of loch drainage can be seen in the exhaustive nature of the practice in parts of Scotland. It has been recently shown that different patterns in the intensity and timing of loch drainage occurred across Scotland, but the reasons why some areas saw more intense drainage, even where similar physical geographies exist, remain unexplored. It is suggested here that the framework of interpretation that has been applied to the much better studied practice of enclosure can equally be applied to drainage. Possible motivations and drivers for loch drainage are suggested here that show correlation in the intensity of drainage with areas that suffered particularly severely during a long period of poor harvests, due to cooler and wetter climate at times in the decades leading up to the Improvement period. This paper throws light on loch drainage as an important agrarian practice of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as rural Scotland shifted away from a largely subsistence economy to one characterised by more capitalist production.

Title: Art and landscape history: British artists in nineteenth-century Val d’Aosta (north-west Italy)
Abstract:
This paper explores the value of landscape and topographical art for understanding contemporary landscapes of the Val d’Aosta, northwest Italy. The region became very popular with British tourists in the early nineteenth century and several amateur and professional artists depicted its landscapes. The paper focuses on the case study of Saint-Pierre, its castle and the surrounding landscapes, examining views by amateur artists like Henrietta Fortescue and professionals such as John Brett. The examination of art, alongside written accounts, historical cartography and field data, provides insights into the landscape history of the Val d’Aosta. The analysis of the artists’ representations raises questions of landscape identity and characterisation and provides evidence for subtle changes in local landuse practices which have had a significant impact on land use change. We suggest that this artistic heritage should be recognised as a source to help improve sustainable tourism in the area and to assist in the development of current land management policies.

Title: ‘The ownership was based on club and stick’: the cartographic reconstruction of a medieval monastic estate in the Buzău Region, Romania
Abstract:
The dynamics of property regime play a key role in understanding the socio-economic and cultural evolution of the Romanian Principalities during the late Middle Ages. In the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries the main landowners were the boyars (the local elite), the ecclesiastical institutions and the free peasants. The latter, known to have financial obligations only to the State, were in a constant feud with the boyars and the monasteries for the landownership of their estates. A rather common practice for the free peasants was to found a skete (a monastic community) and to endow it with a part of their domain.Focusing on the Buzău Subcarpathians, this paper attempts to examine the spatial dimensions of an estate donated by a free peasant, who later became a monk, to the skete founded by him. The paper uses the toponyms extracted from historical documents, oral histories and GIS to precisely locate the seventeenth-century estate and its subsequent evolution. The approach also serves as a tool for understanding the role played by the estates from a social, economic and administrative point of view. Finally, the paper explains the importance of the findings to the dynamic of the regional administrative county bounds, to the creation of a Historical-Geographical Information System (HGIS) in Romania and also to local tourism.

Title: Eorpeburnan and Rye: some aspects of late Anglo-Saxon settlement development in East Sussex
Abstract:
Reasons are given for questioning the identification of the defended site of Castle Toll in Kent with the late ninth-century Burghal Hidage burh of Eorpeburnan, in eastern Sussex, as has been widely assumed. A new historical narrative is therefore required. A consideration of the relevant topographical, landscape, archaeological, and documentary evidence supports the case for identifying the burh of Eorpeburnan with Rye, East Sussex. Recent palaeogeographic and geomorphological evidence relating to the development of the Romney Marsh area gives a new perspective to this hypothesis, and a new context for the development of Rye in the historic landscape. Some aspects of the historical relationship of Rye with Hastings and with Old Winchelsea are also explored.

Title: Reconstructing medieval eroded landscapes of the north-eastern Zuyder Zee (the Netherlands): a refined palaeogeographical time series of the Noordoostpolder between a.d. 1100 and 1400
Abstract:
This paper considers large-scale erosion of late medieval peatland landscapes along the inland lagoon rims of the north-eastern Zuyder Zee area (today: Noordoostpolder, the Netherlands) and integrates palaeogeographical reconstruction, material archeological and spatial archaeohistorical research. The dynamic regional history of coeval loss of peaty coastal plains and boom of maritime activities is studied from archaeological, geological and historical data perspectives. In the first half of the Middle Ages (a.d. 500–1000), vast peatlands and interconnected lakes characterised the study area. During the late Middle Ages (a.d. 1000–1500), increased storm surges and tidal incursions allowed for extensive progressive erosion of inhabited peatlands, transforming the central Netherlands into the Zuyder Zee tidal lagoon. In the north-eastern quadrant of the expanding water body, medieval terrestrial geological and archaeological records fell prey to erosion, re-working and uptake into lagoon-floor deposits. These deposits have been intensively surveyed since the 1940s when the quadrant was reclaimed and made into arable land, and are revealed to contain spatially clustered late medieval archaeological objects.Whereas lagoon floor re-working has hindered making a detailed palaeogeographical reconstruction based on geological data alone, including the mapping of archaeology has helped resolve the pacing of lagoon expansion. The key to resolving the lost peatland palaeogeography for the time frames 1100 and 1400, was to put the archeological data density patterns first and geological lagoon-floor facies descriptions second in process order, while for earlier periods or other regions the opposite order is the convenient choice. We present a map series beginning with an updated map for a.d. 900 (the youngest geological reconstruction), introducing the first detailed palaeogeographical maps for 1100 and 1400 (honouring the late medieval terrestrial and maritime archaeological evidence) and ending with a landscape reconstruction for 1600 (complying with the oldest historical maps of the lagoon), revealing the intertwined landscape history of land and sea as the backdrop for shifts in the human use of both.

Title: The development of historic field systems in northern England: a case study at Wallington, Northumberland
Abstract:
Wallington in central Northumberland is a late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century country house with associated pleasure grounds. Much of the surrounding estate is agricultural land, though there are also expanses of moorland and conifer plantation. The character of Wallington’s landscape, now divided into fifteen separate farm holdings, was to a large extent shaped by estate management practices and improvements in the eighteenth– nineteenth centuries. Today’s settlement pattern is made up largely of dispersed farmsteads, with field systems which reflect the orderly rectilinear layout of planned enclosure, being separated mainly by long and fairly straight stonefaced banks. In medieval and early modern times, by contrast, the landscape is thought to have been quite different, with nucleated villages set amidst irregular open fields which were farmed collectively.The process of long-term landscape change from open to enclosed field systems has been inferred across the whole of Northumberland but it can be difficult to understand in detail. Absolute dating evidence for field systems before the eighteenth century is generally lacking and the origins and development of historic earthworks including boundary banks and the remains of arable farming are poorly understood.This paper presents results of research which used retrogressive landscape analysis (based on documentary evidence, archaeological data, aerial photographs, and historic cartography) to identify five areas for detailed geoarchaeological investigation and sampling with optically stimulated luminescence profiling and dating (OSL-PD). The results provide new perspectives on the development of landscape character at Wallington which have wider relevance for north-east England and beyond.

Title: Lot meadows, do they have a role in understanding scattered holdings? A study case in northern Spain
Abstract:
Lot meadows are those hay meadows that, periodically, are divided into plots which are allocated by raffle among the inhabitants of a township or a parish, usually integrated within a common field system. In this article the lot meadow is presented as a relevant object of study, which can facilitate the understanding of the origin and evolution of agricultural landscapes. Firstly, the article provides technical aspects on how the lot meadows operate in Cantabria, a region located in northern Spain. In this region two lot meadows are still in use, and many others remained in use until the mid-twentieth century. By interviewing and by direct observation, a feature about the way in which they are internally zoned was documented: a permanent division of the meadow into large sets of similar forage quality, each of them being the subject of a separate lottery. Secondly, a locational analysis of twentyseven lot meadows, based on environmental factors and using historical records from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, enabled the identification of possible causes of privatisation or the preference for private meadowlands. The entire analysis led to an illustration of two classic explanations about scattered holdings in common field systems: i.e. equality distribution, and risk avoidance. If a lot meadow was consensually privatised among the villagers, it is likely that such internal zoning in sets was maintained, and therefore scattered plots were obtained. Likewise, this tenure pattern would result if this allocation procedure (with internal zoning in sets) were used to collectively create private meadows or arable fields.1

Title: Spontaneous landscape dynamics in the Pays de Bitche, Lorraine (France), during the Little Ice Age
Abstract:
This study is an analysis of a historical document (the ‘Atlas topographique du comté de Bitche’), dating from 1758 and carried out in north-eastern France. The Atlas is composed of three large volumes. The aim was to evaluate the timber resources that had accumulated during the 100 years of land abandonment following the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). Before the seventeenth century, the main woodland management was a form of the selective cutting of over-mature trees.The authors of the Atlas focused on oak (without differentiating Quercus petraea from Q. robur) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) sexual regeneration, dead wood and the characteristics of woodlands. According to size, the woodlands (so-called ‘futaies’) were divided into five categories to which the authors associated arbitrary age ranges. Other information concerned climatic events (storms, frosts and drought), large illegal cuttings and new rules for land use.These descriptions were converted into semi-quantitative data by counting the number of mentions of the woodland categories. The main result was that futaies with large-sized trees, specifically oaks, were dominant. Tree-ring counting on twenty-four selected beech and oak trees indicate that there was no relationship between age and size. Another interesting result was that during the 100 years of non-use, oaks died massively probably following competition with beech, harsh climatic events typical of the Little Ice Age or insect attacks.

Title: The Canadian landscape as Art. Stanley Thompson, Golf Course Architecture, the Group of Seven, and the Aesthetic of Canadian Nationalism
Abstract:
Golf Courses symbolise more than the relationship between player and landscape. In Canada, where the landscape historically is tied to national identity, golf courses can take on nationalist meanings as well. This paper investigates the relationship between landscape and nationalism through Canadian golf architect legend Stanley Thompson’s golf courses. In particular, Thompson’s creation of the Heroic School of Golf Architecture represents a Canadian adaptation to the Strategic School of Golf Architecture. Thompson allowed the landscape, in particular the dramatic landscape, to dictate the courses and in doing so imbued popular Canadian nationalist ideas in these courses. Using his contemporaries, the famous Group of Seven landscape artists, as comparison shows how different types of artists used the landscape to express Canadian national ideas.

Title: Sound in the landscape, a study of the historical literature. Part 3a: the sixteenth century onwards
Abstract:
The sixteenth century witnesses a renewed interest in the sounds issuing from the country pursuits of ordinary folk of the countryside. It will not be until the nineteenth century that the systematic recording of folk songs was to begin but a number of writers were already including mentions of countryside sounds and songs of country folk into their works. The sound of birdsong, however, continues to reign supreme among ‘natural’ sounds, with weather, trees and water also playing a role. These themes continue in poetry and literature throughout the succeeding centuries. A selection of quotations from poetry and other literary sources are given here.

Title: Forest management and landscape history: exploitation of Scarus oak forest in Lefkada (Santa-Maura) island under Venetian and British rule (eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century)
Abstract:
A compilation of documents, mainly from the Venetian and British occupation periods (eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century), concerning the once thriving Scarus oak forest, is kept in the historical archive of Lefkada island. The record is a source of historical toponyms many of which were preserved in the rich cartographic and cadastral material created by the Venetians while it also holds an inventory of the forest ordered by the British administration. Valuable information is given on the management methods and policies implemented by the Venetian and British administration in order to control exploitation of the forest by the local population and harvest its different products acorns, dye and naval timber. The harsh protection measures implemented prohibited farming and stock breeding by the local peasants and villagers who were actually allowed to collect wood and forest products to meet their needs. The archive indirectly reveals a severe episode of oak forest decline that took place in the early nineteenth century. Driven by climate and extended uncontrolled wood cutting it set the foundations for the irreversible landscape conversion of modern times. Today, despite its size reduction, a significant part of the mountain top can be recognised as an oak silvopastoral system of great historical and cultural value.

Title: Pastoralism, nature and golf: in pursuit of the ‘Middle Landscape’ along the California coast
Abstract:
Dr Alister MacKenzie designed golf courses throughout Europe and the United States in the early twentieth century. As one of the sports early ‘golf architects,’ MacKenzie brought a particularly vivid interpretation of nature to his course designs. Using his writings, along with maps, diagrams and plans, this analysis focuses on his work at two courses along Monterey Bay: Cypress Point and Pasatiempo. Cypress Point represents MacKenzie’s view of nature that is something both constructed and preserved — with manicured lawns atop rugged cliffs and crashing ocean waves. Pasatiempo’s greens undulate around deep ravines and groves of redwoods. Both courses may be evaluated within the context of Leo Marx’s ‘Middle Landscape’ as spaces of nature, art, and leisure. While some elements of the physical environment were ‘preserved’ much of the design of these spaces was intent on portraying a landscape in which players could experience raw beauty while maintaining a sense of comfort and safety. As such, this analysis considers the extent to which course plans and photographs serve as notable examples of Marx’s ‘Middle Landscape’.

Title: Landscape, place and identity: the castles of the Holderness Plain, East Yorkshire
Abstract:
This paper explores the importance of landscape and place in the creation of identity and the establishment of power in the period following the Norman Conquest. It focuses on the Holderness Plain, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and takes the view that the character of the landscape points towards a region which retained an enduring sense of place. It examines the nature and spatial dimension of lordship in Holderness in the period immediately following the Norman Conquest. Focusing on the medieval castles of the Plain, it explores the role of ancient monuments, natural places and existing systems of authority in the establishment of new centres of power. Through a detailed case study of Skipsea castle, it considers the ways in which the natural and cultural landscape shaped the form and siting of the Norman fortress, and how this elite centre changed through time. It also sheds new light on the ways in which the development of Skipsea castle influenced the surrounding settlement pattern, revealing how the castle and wider changes to social and cultural practices impacted on the people who inhabited the land. The conclusion is that the Norman aristocracy were drawing on the texture of the landscape and the memories and traditions of local communities as a means of reinforcing power and control.

Title: Ancient Palace Gardens of Korea: the water purification system of Wolji Pond, a world heritage site
Abstract:
The Wolji Pond is part of an ancient palace garden belonging to the Gyeongju Historic Areas of Korea, designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. The traditional pond is remarkable as it introduced a fresh-water supply and drainage systems to increase water circulation and prevent water from becoming stagnant thus negatively affecting its quality. This study is the first examination of the system used to improve water quality through water purification and illustrates how the water supply system at the site consists of four interconnected stages to ensure a stable oxygen supply and sufficient water circulation through the strategic placement of differently sized islands, and a drainage system that allows for the discharge of water from the ground floor. The study classifies the features and types of traditional Korean ponds and compares these to those found at the Wolji pond; followed by a water quality survey conducted through portable devices and a simulation of the water flow to highlight the uniquely advanced nature of the site, which clearly indicate that the ancient architects at Wolji had considerable knowledge of hydrodynamics as well as a keen aesthetic taste. The garden design at Wolji evidently took the passage of time into account as well as maintenance after completion and has much to inspire and influence modern landscape architects. The purpose of the study is to consider and develop aspects of the ancient water purification system that can be incorporated into modern garden design to solve contemporary water quality problems.

Title: Making Dalmatia green again: reforestation at the ‘horrible edge’ of Empire 1870–1918
Abstract:
Reforestation has been one of the main forestry activities in the karst terrain of Dalmatia, Croatia, for more than a century. This paper examines the history behind reforestation schemes in Dalmatia, a kingdom at the periphery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores how the ideas of Austrian foresters, based at the centre of Empire, were transmitted and put into practice. Late nineteenth-century forestry debates in contemporary forestry texts and the Šumarski list, the forestry journal published since 1877, are analysed and different narratives concerning the lack of woodland explored. The paper goes on to examine how reforestation of the karst was carried out in the region around Šibenik making use of local archives, historical maps, cadastral surveys, and photographs. Disputes between foresters and local villagers who wished to protect their grazing rights are uncovered and a link between the development of tourism and the selection of sites to be reforested is identified.

Title: The development of early reservoirs to supply water to arterial canals in England and Wales
Abstract:
Reservoirs change and control how water moves through the landscape. This article explores a key period in the development of reservoir technology at the turn of the nineteenth century which involved the construction of large reservoirs, such as Rudyard in north Staffordshire, which pre-date similar-size reservoirs for potable water. The creation of larger reservoirs in this period played an important role in the implementation of a resilient stable water supply to the canals, replacing a chaotic system of diverse water supplies to the earliest canals, which left them vulnerable to extreme weather. The development of larger reservoirs took place against a backdrop of changing dynamics in water ownership and entitlement to water, which had implications for the role and legacy of large reservoirs through to the present. Previous studies have concentrated on the economic or technological aspects of this period, with rapid expansion of the canal network. By examining the actions of established canal companies and unpicking the documentary evidence concerning the construction of Rudyard Reservoir, it will be argued that a complex combination of dry weather, competition for water and traffic, technological developments, and changing patterns of water management all contributed in creating a demand for large reservoirs to supply water to arterial canals in England and Wales.

Title: The landscape of ‘Phinny Animals’: fish husbandry at Rufford Abbey 1700–1743
Abstract:
Elements of the eighteenth-century water management system at Rufford Abbey, a significant Nottinghamshire estate and once Cistercian monastery, are still visible in its landscape. From estate plans, accounts and correspondence it has been possible to reconstruct an extensive water system developed by Sir George Savile, 7th Baronet, and his estate servants during the baronet’s ownership (1700–1743). This landscape of water was part of a complex demesne landscape encompassing pleasure grounds, spring woods and parkland which fulfilled multiple functions. Central to these was the management of fish. The present paper looks at the many ways in which Sir George improved and extended the fish habitat he inherited and his motives for doing so, weighing them against practices promoted in agricultural treatises of the period. It draws attention to the collaborative nature of this enterprise, involving as it did successive stewards, gardeners, carpenters, at one stage a consultant, and the baronet himself, whose scientific and practical understanding fed into the design process. It concludes that carp husbandry was of enormous significance to the cultural geography and identity of the Rufford Estate in the first half of the eighteenth century and suggests, contrary to prevailing chronologies, that water continued to be managed for the supply of fish well into the eighteenth century.

Title: From a Mughal Bagh to a Colonial Archaeological Garden to a UNESCO World Heritage Property and everything else in between: the many lives of Badshah Shahjahan’s Hayat Baksh Bagh
Abstract:
The article explores the transformation of the Indian subcontinent’s historic gardens as power changed hands from the Mughals to the British, first as the East India Company (henceforth EIC) and subsequently as the Crown, thus altering not only the political scenario but also the subcontinent’s cultural landscape. In the aftermath of the 1857 Indian uprising against colonial rule, the victorious colonial state undertook an urban remodelling programme across the subcontinent’s cities in a bid to stamp its authority. This resulted in the introduction of metropole-inspired forms of urbanity that included leisure. As a cultural import, leisure was spatialised in the subcontinent, like its British counterpart, via the public park. Colonial institutions notably the municipality and Archaeological Survey of India (henceforth ASI) laid out public parks that were referred to as municipal gardens and archaeological gardens respectively. These were either laid out as new ventures or by remodelling Mughal gardens based on metropolitan, notably English garden design ideas. The article argues that colonial interventions transformed Mughal gardens to produce a multi-layered landscape that evoked several but fragmented meanings. Further, it urges an unravelling of the layers of Mughal gardens to appreciate their complexity for charting a holistic approach for their conservation and management. One such venture is examined in detail i.e. the transformation of the seventeenth-century imperial Mughal leisure garden, Hayat Baksh Bagh, in Delhi’s Red Fort, first as a Mughal leisure garden, then as a colonial military space and archaeological garden and finally as a contemporary tourist site. The need to unravel the garden’s many culturally diverse layers is underscored for a more nuanced site interpretation to facilitate its conservation in keeping with contemporary global and national conservation discourses.1

Title: The Fedderate Charter and its implications for the thirteenth-century social and economic landscapes of North-east Scotland
Abstract:
The late twelfth–early thirteenth-century Fedderate Charter gives a unique view of aspects of the thirteenth-century landscape of North-east Scotland that is not available from other sources. It is a multi-purpose document shedding light on agricultural, economic and social change, landscape and place-name development, secular religious observance and routeways. The method employed to describe the boundary of the estate is also unusual and may relate to the size of the grant and customary methods of witnessing such events.

Title: Archaeological features and absolute dating of historical road tracks in the North-western European Sand Belt.
Abstract:
It is very difficult to obtain absolute historical datings of road features found at archaeological excavations. Nevertheless, various physical dating methods have been developed for this purpose, including Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL). After a small-scale archaeological campaign, samples from a medieval trading route in the Veluwe area (central Netherlands) on sandy soils have been dated with OSL, in order to compare these with archaeological and historical data of the same route. The absolute datings of tracks of this so-called Harderwijkerweg appeared to correspond largely with the archaeological interpretations and historical sources (datings between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries). The soil profiles also revealed new insights into the diachronical development of the excavated tracks. It was concluded that the combination of archaeological excavation, OSL dating and historical archive research could be a reliable method for the dating and contextualisation of historical roads on Pleistocene sandy soils.

Title: The Sámi cultural landscape as the scene of collective memory and identity — challenges in preserving
Abstract:
The cultural landscape carries symbolic values or at least narratives that inspire experiences and create identities. Landscape is not just what we see but also how we see it: we use our eyes but interpret with our minds and ascribe values to the landscape for intangible reasons. Heritage protection seeks to save cultural values. In the northernmost part of Europe there are strong non-visible local elements of the Sámi landscape, but they are not always visible to the professionals evaluating it. Understanding tangible and intangible values of the landscape is crucial for guiding planning and land use. For the Sámi people, their cultural landscape is created through interactions between humans and nature over the course of many generations. The general Finnish view emphasises a cultural landscape as something modified and built by humans, and the Sámi region has been interpreted as a wilderness in the regional or even the national cultural landscape inventories. Being able to identify important values in the landscape allows the Sámi cultural heritage to carry itself forward and, thus, to help maintain the vitality of the Sámi culture. This article presents a contribution for specific challenges connected with the Sámi cultural landscapes and land use in northern Finland.

Title: Reinterpreting Nirat Nongkhai: an historical account of settlement and land use in north-eastern Thailand during the nineteenth century
Abstract:
Due to insufficient historical accounts of the north-eastern region of Siam (modern-day Thailand) during the nineteenth century, the landscape, settlement and land use in this area are only vaguely understood. This article thus analyses and interprets the region’s settlement and land use by employing a unique nineteenth-century poetic source, the famous Nirat Nongkhai, a classic Siamese ‘journey-poem’ (nirat), composed in 1875. The poem effectively represents an account (i.e. journal) of a military expedition from Bangkok to the north-eastern region to suppress the Haw people. The poet wrote Nirat Nongkhai with great attention to detail and the key purpose of turning it into an historical travel archive. The poem was framed in the realist style, so it is particularly valuable for the study of landscape. Thus, it helps to clarify settlement and land use characteristics in the region during the late nineteenth century. The settings and contexts of Nirat Nongkhai show that geographical factors were the prime reasons why most of the flat areas remained unused, dry grasslands. Conversely, the low hills were inhabited. The essential settlement pattern was thus one of ‘island villages’ dispersed over waterside hills, mirroring the basic pattern of forested land (the pa khok) on the hills and river levees. Nirat also demonstrates that topography proved problematic for travel. For these reasons, communities remained largely impoverished and isolated from other regions of Siam.

Title: Sound in the landscape. Part 3b: the later nineteenth century to the present day
Abstract:
Industrial development had a huge effect upon audible sound in the nineteenth century, not only in urban regions but also in more rural locations, as mechanisation affected all branches of industry, mining, agriculture, and forestry. Natural sounds continued to be reflected in literature and poetry while enriching our personal lives, but have had to contend with the competition of an ever more densely populated world.

Title: Forest vert: the holly and the ivy
Abstract:
Forests were precisely bounded areas devoted primarily to hunting ‘venison’, which mainly comprised deer. They covered large areas of the countryside and continued to exist through early modern times. The forest laws that facilitated hunting also protected, as ‘vert’, the vegetation through which deer were chased and in which they fed, bred and sheltered, but allowed the use of vert for many purposes unconnected with hunting, exercised by forest lords and their officers, land-holders, commoners, and outsiders. Forests were, therefore, typical of the common pool resource systems that existed before land was privatised for the pursuit of financial profit by individual owners, and remarkably complex arrangements governed the use of many items of vert: branches removed from timber trees to allow their transportation; trees and branches blown down by the wind; small branches that could be pulled down by hand; twigs and other dead wood that had fallen from trees and bushes; old hedges; tree bark, and browse wood cut by foresters to feed deer; were all used by different people in sequence, for house building and maintenance, hedges, household fuel, fodder for domestic animals, and financial income. Holly and ivy had special significance within these complex mélanges of rights over forest vert, and holly bore the crown because of its pivotal significance for ‘the running of the deer’.

Title: Anything but common: why Van Diemen’s Land never had commons
Abstract:
It is sometimes assumed that the concept of the ‘commons’ was transposed directly from Britain to the Australian colonies, and that the term is interchangeable with ‘Crown land’ to describe lands not yet claimed by European settlers. This paper compares British commons with those introduced in the earliest years of the New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land colonies, and asks why the latter failed to reserve land specifically for common grazing in its first thirty years. By comparing these two colonies, it becomes clear that each was driven by different environmental factors and priorities. Moreover, it shows that British commons and Crown lands in Australia were only comparable in a very shallow sense. This piece argues that calling unalienated acres claimed by the Crown in Australia ‘commons’ perpetuates the dispossession of Indigenous peoples from their lands by applying a framework founded in a thousand years of British common law and precedent.

Title: ‘A City’s Paradise’: preserving the remainder of Box Hill, voluntary social action and Country Life, 1919–1936
Abstract:
Land was first purchased at Box Hill, Surrey, on the North Downs, to save a famous viewpoint in 1914. Safeguarding the remainder of Box Hill from development necessitated public appeals in 1919, 1923, 1926 and 1935. Led by the largely autonomous Box Hill Management Committee, and often supported by Country Life, voluntary social action in Surrey and London was mobilised to preserve adjoining land for the National Trust by accretion, intent on avoiding spoliation by villas on winding drives, extensive tree felling, streets of bungalows, and highway construction. Sub-national piecemeal protection and voluntary vigilance sustained delight in the country by subscribers who affirmed their familiarity with Box Hill, where views, trees and sequestered spaces on low and high ground offered quiet enjoyment amid common nature. Using sources which originated in the hill’s management, complemented by Country Life and newspaper reports, the article evaluates the interrelationship of locality and nation during the subscription appeals, with reference to private acts of informal benevolence and personal sense-impressions of Box Hill. The importance of providing respite from congested districts, on unembellished former wooded pasture in its natural state, is explored before sufficient national political consensus arose for the statutory protection of open country. In 1944 the Greater London Plan demanded that remaining unspoiled chalk country should be taken into public possession.

Title: ‘The dreadful catastrophe that happened at Asterton’: a hurricane or an avalanche in Shropshire?
Abstract:
This paper reconstructs the course of an event that happened at Asterton in south Shropshire in the late eighteenth century which at the time was attributed to a hurricane. Having reviewed the surviving evidence, in particular a contemporary account written by Reverend Edward Rogers as well as the coroner’s inquisition report, newspaper articles, historic meteorological data, and the physical landscape, it will be argued that it was in all probability an avalanche rather than a hurricane. The causes and effects of avalanches which regularly occur in mountainous areas like the French and Swiss Alps are well understood, having long attracted the attention of physical geographers. However, in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries relatively little was known about these natural phenomena. Travellers often noted observing avalanches and contemporaries published accounts of them such as that which occurred at Bergemoletto in the Italian Alps in 1755. The interpretation of the event at Asterton as a hurricane illustrates how the understanding of avalanches as well as other natural phenomena was developing in the eighteenth century.

Title: Social ‘Under-painting’ in 15th-century landscape depictions
Abstract:
This paper examines the background landscape depictions of two late fifteenth-century altarpieces and discusses what these commissions reveal about the contrasting societal and cultural influences affecting the respective patrons. It suggests that their aspirations and self-perceptions are evidenced within differing approaches to landscape depiction at this time. The paintings demonstrate contrasting concerns and cultural identities north and south of the Alps and may relate to divergent symbolic associations utilised within their particular elitist environments.

Title: Dougalston in Scotland’s Western Central Belt: a Glasgow Tobacco Lord’s designed parkland landscape?
Abstract:
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century designed landscapes in the Western Central Belt of Scotland are relatively under-represented in the literature, despite this being an area with many estates that were purchased as country seats by wealthy Glasgow merchants in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. One of the wealthiest of those merchants was the Tobacco Lord John Glassford who purchased Dougalston Estate to the north of Glasgow in 1767. The long-standing conventional wisdom is that Glassford transformed the area surrounding the estate mansion into a designed parkland landscape of water bodies, woodlands, rides, and walks. We use a range of evidence — old maps, mapping of ha-has and trees, reconstruction of rides and driveways, dendrochronology, analysis of several designed landscape buildings, and archival research — to conclude that John Glassford was very probably responsible for the start of the switch from formal to parkland designed landscape, but that the full ‘project’ was completed by his son and grandson. The timing of Thomas White Senior’s involvement in Scottish landscape design means that it seems clear that he could not have been responsible for designing the Dougalston designed landscape and the issue of who was responsible for planning the Dougalston designed landscape remains to be resolved. Two important wider issues are related to the work we present here. Firstly, it must be remembered that the wealth that Glassford and his descendants poured into the parkland designed landscape was derived, at least initially and perhaps subsequently, by inheritance, from slavery. And secondly, in terms of modern-day planning matters, our work shows that the key elements of a designed landscape from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries can be reconstructed in some detail using our multi-disciplinary approach.

Title: When Description means Control. The example of the Russian General Land Survey in eastern Latvia in 1784–1785
Abstract:
This paper is a case study of Enlightenment’s cadastral landscape recording exemplified by the General Land Survey, taken by the Russian Empire in the newly acquired region of Latgale (contemporary eastern Latvia) in 1784–1785. The surveyors scrupulously described and showed on maps many natural features, such as trees, animals, birds, and fish species, as well as provided insight into social realities by mentioning inhabitants, settlements, local place-names, religious and ethnic relations. However, it was by no means a pure reflection of Latgale’s natural and cultural landscape. The paper argues that the survey in Latgale simultaneously registered the resources, regulated property boundaries, strengthened landlords’ control over peasants, and imposed the rule of the new state. Similarly, as western and central European states, Russia needed a detailed description of the province in order to control it. It was a fundamental change for Latgale, previously belonging to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that had not introduced any cadastre or comparable land survey, therefore performed little control at a local level.

Title: Historical parcellation and ridge-and-furrow relics of open strip-fields in the north-west European lowlands
Abstract:
We tested to what extent ridge-and-furrow relics can be identified with airborne LiDAR imagery and analysed whether the ridge-and-furrow can provide an archive of historical parcellation dynamics in open strip-fields. Our case study area is the central-eastern Netherlands (Twente; Veluwe) and adjacent lowland Germany (Westphalia). We sampled eight mark territories containing twenty-one neighbourhoods with unurbanised open strip-fields. The sample contained coversand, ground moraine and ice-pushed ridge landscapes. The study was based on LiDAR-derived elevation models (DEM), historical cadastres and topographic maps, soil and geomorphological maps as well as an archaeological excavation. Ridge-and-furrow relics of 1–2 decimetres height, invisible to the naked eye, were detected in every strip-field. In large strip-fields, raised headland relics divided ridged beds into two shorter strip parcels. In afforested parts of strip-fields, ridge-and-furrow was generally better preserved. Ridged beds were broadly congruent with cadastral strip parcels from the early nineteenth century. However, cadastral strip parcels were often shorter than ridge-and-furrow beds but frequently several beds wide. The identified micro-topographic patterns turned out to be an archive of historical reparcellation dynamics.

Title: Royal Gardens in Republican Iran: a case study of the Golestan Palace Garden, Tehran
Abstract:
In 1925, the rise of Reza Shah Pahlavi’s regime led to the deliberate destruction of Qajar gardens (1785 to 1925), most of which were converted into military bases. A limited number, such as the Golestan Palace Garden, were partly preserved. However, there had been mass destruction of ‘unsolicited’ and ‘outdated’ buildings by the Qajars and the denigration of religious rituals. Following the fall of the monarchy and establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, the Golestan Palace Garden’s meaning and function changed, and all traditions associated with the monarchy were abandoned to enforce the ideologies of post-revolutionary garden management. Through an in-depth case study, this paper narrates the transformations which have occurred in the physical and material fabric along with symbolic and social dimensions of royal gardens. Although the garden exists its rich symbolism has been rendered impotent to respond to different needs of various states. The renovation of the Golestan Palace Garden has not been appropriately completed even after it was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2013. Hence, this paper intends to question the museum-like conservation approach, which negates the social facts and meanings and is limited to the restoration of materials. The paper concludes that the revival of intangible heritage is fundamental to invigorate the garden in question.

Title: Historical and cultural significance of the Krutynia River (Masuria, Poland)
Abstract:
Among the rivers flowing through East Prussia the longest one is the Pregola, whereas Lyna and Krutynia, which are shorter, are significant for the Masurian Lake District. The 99 km-long Krutynia river flows through the Piska Wilderness and the Masurian Landscape Park. The canoe trail is considered as the most beautiful in all of Poland. This text, however, discusses not the natural values, but the historical and cultural values of Masuria, i.e. the area through which the river flows.For centuries, this area had been inhabited by various national and ethnical groups. The oldest residents — Old Prussians — founded their settlements here. Afterwards, until 1945, this area was under the rule of the Prussian state. At that time, hydraulic engineering monuments were created — sluices, dams, mills. Some of them are still operational. The last seventy-seven years passed under Polish administration. The Krutynia became a tourist attraction at that time.In the vicinity of the Krutynia river one can observe captivating cultural heritage visible on the route: antique wooden cottages, a few manor-houses, or the memory of figures known in Masuria. For centuries, the river gave work, food and was a communication route for the local people. Today it is one of the tourist symbols of Masuria.

Title: The repercussions of the Culbin Sands disaster of 1694: the emotional impacts of a shifting landscape in North-East Scotland
Abstract:
The popular story concerning the destruction of the Barony of Culbin, in North-East Scotland, is that in one night in 1694 a cataclysmic storm drowned the Barony under a sea of sand. The area never recovered, and over the years came to be known as the Culbin Sands. However, beginning in the 1920s discussions arose surrounding the afforestation of the area, an endeavour which began in the 1930s, leading to the area now being known as the Culbin Forest. The truth of the storm and the shifting of the landscape over the years is not quite so violent or sudden, yet the myth persists, and can still be found to be adhered to today by locals and visitors, amateur historians and artists, drawn in by the idea of the dangers of extreme weather. While less violent and sudden, however, the true nature of the events is still fascinating, and a potential lesson for the present, as the encroachment of sand upon the land was the product of humanity’s actions upon the local environment, and a different climate to today. This article investigates this popular narrative, interrogating it in regards to its truth and its place in history. It assesses the emotional impact of the land upon the locals, and the long-term effects of the loss of the estate. It also assesses the impact of the emotions of observers upon the land itself, and how human emotions have driven attitudes towards the environment, in the past and in the present.

Title: Creation, management and devaluation – examining the workings of the seventeenth-century meadow economy in southern Sweden
Abstract:
Meadow land use has been the object of very limited historical research in Sweden, as most studies have focused on ecological or functional aspects. Research on the economy of meadows is rare. This paper addresses this issue by studying the investment in, and management of, meadows in seventeenth-century Sweden considering landesque capital, a concept referring to long-term investments in land through labour. We also examine the local economic institutions developed to handle this type of capital. By analysing seventeenth-century century court records from the districts of Östra, Redväg and Kind, a more complete picture emerges of the processes and contexts in which meadows were created, managed and devalued / revalued over time. Meadow capital was constantly under threat of degeneration due to biophysical processes, and this paper explores the different strategies used to handle this problem. Outlying meadows were often more flexible in terms of ownership and were often used by others when abandoned, either by agreement or surreptitiously, which frequently led to future ownership conflicts. The comparatively limited number of cases relating to meadows nonetheless emphasises the fairly low transaction costs incurred by institutions related to meadow land use at this time. It was often the outlying meadows that appeared in court proceedings, most likely related to these meadows not being contiguous to the rest of the land of the person using them as well as these meadows having a more dynamic owner/usership history compared to infield meadows.

Title: Burghs in the landscape and the landscape of burghs: conquest, culture and urban design in north-east Scotland, 1150–1230
Abstract:
This study considers the planting and planning of burghs in Moray, by kings of Scots, during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The king’s burghs were placed in the Moray landscape as a key element in an exemplary Anglo-Norman culture zone created in the coastal lowlands. This study focuses upon the arrangement of internal space within each town: especially exploring the dimensions of burgage plots as evidence of deliberate planning. Design commonalities among the Moray burghs are considered as evidence for stringent royal direction of burgh foundation by a cadre of professional town planners, using a common template and regularised standard measures for urban design.

Title: Late Ming Xizi Lake: the courtesan world in the landscape culture of the West Lake
Abstract:
The present article has the aim of examining the relationship between the landscape culture of Hangzhou’s West Lake and the world of Late Ming courtesans. This will analyse how the landscape culture was ambiguous toward the world of courtesans. On one hand it reinforced the values of that world, providing a network of spaces and activities for their implementation; on the other it offered ways in which such values could be questioned or even used by the courtesans themselves to progress in the world of culture, abandoning their status for a more socially acceptable one.

Title: Burhs, burghal territories and hundreds in the English central Midlands in the early tenth century. Part 1
Abstract:
The strategic context of new burhs created by the West Saxon King Edward the Elder in the east and central Midlands, in part documented in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is examined to determine the ways in which the foundation of these burhs as new fortified settlements was associated with the formation of new burghal territories to maintain their strategic functionality. These burghal territories typically comprised one or more units of around 300+ hides, here termed ‘proto-hundreds’. All of these are argued as constituting elements of a major reorganisation of the administrative landscape as part of the essential infrastructure of burghal formation. These new cadastral redevelopments demonstrate the organisational precocity of the West Saxon state at this period. These ‘proto-hundreds’ were subsequently divided into smaller units of around 100 hides in a new phase of reorganisation which was arguably concurrent with the creation of the shires, formed by amalgamation of the earlier burghal territories, in probably the third quarter of the tenth century. The first part of this paper examines the shires of Buckinghamshire and what is now western Northamptonshire; the second part extends this analysis to Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire.

Title: Conservation of dry-stone structures: a practical study on the Al-Makhrour’s watchtowers
Abstract:
Watchtowers, also called huts, manatir, qussur, ezab, araaiesh, siear, are architectural structures built of drystone without mortar overlooking the cultivated lands. They contribute to the ultimate formation of a unique cultural landscape evolved from the proper adaptation of land for agriculture using special systemisation, and to the inscription of the site named: ‘Palestine: Land of Olives and Vines, Cultural Landscape of Southern Jerusalem on the World Heritage List’ (WHL). The inappropriate state of conservation of the watchtowers, among other factors, resulted in causing the whole property to be on the UNESCO’s WHL in-danger since 2014 until the present. This research documented fifty watchtowers out of approximately 259 distributed over 13 square kilometres within the World Heritage Property (WHP). It also included a practical conservation project for twenty watchtowers selected upon a scientific multi-disciplinary approach after a field survey, literature review, assessment of previous conservation interventions, and direct observations based on the international related guidelines. The project succeeded in the conservation of twenty watchtowers and the revitalisation of the lands associated with them. The results of the project were investigated in terms of the commitment of conservation rules in particular: Documentation, Reversibility, Authenticity, Distinguishability, Adaptive reuse, Cultural Landscape, and Human Dimension.

Title: Visualising emptiness: the landscape of the Western Front and Australian and English children’s picture books
Abstract:
Although the Great War made extraordinarily complex demands on the nations involved, it is the landscape of the battlefield which has continued to dominate contemporary perceptions of the conflict. Australian and English children’s picture book authors and illustrators have adopted a similar focus, particularly regarding the Western Front. It is the illustrators, however, who have the more complex task, for they have inherited an aesthetic issue that has challenged artists since 1914. Like the British, Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand official war artists of the time, they are confronted, at every turn, by the challenge of depicting a surreally empty landscape. It was not so much a landscape as the artists understood it before the war, but rather an anti-landscape, as though the war had annihilated Nature. What was left was a dystopian wilderness that bore witness to the destructive power of industrialised warfare. This article will explore how a selection of Australian and English children’s picture book illustrators respond to the emptiness of the battlefield landscape, or as Becca Weir so evocatively characterises it, the paradox of measurable nothingness.

Title: ‘Wild’ horses in medieval and early modern landscapes of Europe
Abstract:
Historical mentions of herds of ‘wild’ horses in Europe are frequently taken unquestioningly as a reference for natural grazing in nature conservation. It is often assumed that such herds roamed the wilderness freely and functioned in a socially and ecologically unrestrained manner, uninfluenced by humans. On the basis of a survey of historical (primary) sources, it is examined if these assumptions are justified, or whether these herds should be considered as cultural artifacts. Truly wild horses seem to have disappeared from the North-West European landscape shortly after the Early Mesolithic. Meticulous examination of mentions of ‘wild horses’ in a wide variety of sources from the Early Middle Ages onwards testifies to the fact that these animals had owners and were actually domestic. They were intensively managed in enclosures in the wilderness and deployed in agriculture and warfare. The social functioning of these ‘wild horse’ herds has been influenced for centuries by restricting allowance of stallions, early withdrawal of foals, and protection against predators. In turn, this will have impacted the way these animals influenced the landscape. It does not, however, mean that grazing by free-roaming horses is a bad idea from landscape and nature conservation perspectives. On the contrary, it offers an excellent opportunity to combine protection of both nature and cultural heritage by reinstating the medieval agricultural technique that horse-keeping in the free factually is.

Title: Roman to early medieval cereal farming in the Rhineland: weeds, tillage, and the spread of the mouldboard plough
Abstract:
A new model for gauging levels of soil disturbance (i.e. tillage) by analysing arable weed assemblages from archaeological contexts is applied to an extensive Roman-to-early medieval archaeobotanical sequence from the region west of Cologne. It tests the hypothesis that increasing use of the mouldboard plough, especially in a three-field system, would result in increased levels of soil disturbance which would be reflected in the kinds of weeds that grew in arable fields. The results point to clear differences in tillage regimes during the Roman period, providing support for the view that military sites were not provisioned by the same networks that supplied the civilian market. They also reveal generally low disturbance levels for the fifth and sixth centuries, indicating a continuing predominance of ard cultivation in the post-Roman period. The majority of seventh- to eighth-century samples had, however, been grown in ‘high disturbance’ conditions, a pattern that continued through the eighth and ninth centuries. Although use of the mouldboard plough within a fully developed three-field system may not have become widespread until the tenth or eleventh century, our evidence suggests that a plough capable of turning over the soil was in use in the Rhineland at a much earlier date.

Title: Transhumance, shielings and soil fertility – land-use legacies in Menstrie Glen, Scotland
Abstract:
Whilst transhumance has been researched as a livestock and land management system, its legacy on soil- nutrient levels is unknown. This study addresses changes in soil chemistry associated with historical transhumance grazing management with the aim of establishing if soil-nutrient levels can shed new insights into land-use legacies originating from past transhumance in Scotland. The study is focused on one aspect of transhumance, the shielings associated with milking livestock formerly operating in the uplands of the Scottish Midland Valley. A literature review is presented focusing on the history, functioning and geographic distribution of transhumance systems in Scotland set within a global context. This is followed by a detailed examination of two shieling sites in Menstrie Glen in the Ochil Hills. Their relationship to topography is considered, with vegetation survey and chemical analyses for plant macronutrients of soils collected in the vicinity also carried out. Underpinned by theories integrating biogeochemical fluxes and agropastoral activities it is established that there is moderate enrichment of local nutrient levels still evident at the Menstrie Glen shieling sites today. Review of historical and environmental sources suggests that local nutrient levels reflect temporal dynamics of shieling establishment, functioning and abandonment with limited evidence to suggest this was driven by population pressure and adaptation to Little Ice Age climate change. The analyses lead to insights about wider ecological impacts of different forms of land use in the face of climate change and population pressure, carrying implications for land use in Scotland and the challenges facing extant transhumance systems in countries where both these issues are pressing today.

Title: Historic gardens and parks in Southeast Asia: typologies and common characteristics
Abstract:
Since the Florence Charter was issued by the International Council on Monuments and Sites in 1982, there has been an increasing research interest in the historic gardens of several continents including North America, Europe and Oceania. This has given rise to further research in conservation and management strategies for historic gardens. However, in Southeast Asia historic gardens do not receive as much recognition from scholars when compared with art, architecture and archaeology. This article is a first attempt at listing and analysing the historic gardens of Southeast Asia, focusing on secular gardens dated from the eighth to early twentieth century for which archaeological remains still exist. The analysis aims at identifying typologies and common characteristics among these gardens. This study can provide a database for future research and conservation plans. The list herein consists of sixty-five gardens divided into eight categories by their function: royal pleasure gardens, royal tomb gardens, parks, town squares, garden houses, institution gardens, botanical gardens and zoological gardens. Although the gardens vary in design, they share common characteristics suggesting integration between local culture and external influence.

Title: The development of Landscape Archaeology in Britain, present conflicts and possible new directions
Abstract:
This article outlines the development of landscape archaeology in Britain from two perspectives, namely: methods used to identify patterns and changes in the landscape; and theories used to explain these changes. Current conflicting theoretical views are discussed, and the adoption of the mixed method approach as a possible future development that may bridge these contrasting views is examined.

Title: Firewood and timber. The meaning of the forest common rights in the everyday life of peasants in Austrian Galicia
Abstract:
This article sets forth an exhaustive analysis of the importance of natural resources in the daily lives of peasants in nineteenth-century Austrian Galicia during a period of socio-economic upheaval. These resources included firewood and timber, and were gathered by peasants under their common rights to access manorial forests. Against the background of a changing Galician countryside, the everyday existence of peasants dependent on these resources was transformed. Forest resources symbolised wealth, and at the same time the goal of meeting the existential needs of peasants. By giving a direct voice to the rural population, as contained in unique manuscripts, it was possible to recreate and reconstruct this part of life, seen through the eyes of the poorest social group struggling with the trials of everyday life, such as poverty, hunger, shortages of fuel for cooking and heating and maintaining basic hygiene in dilapidated buildings.

Title: Gardeners and the democratisation of urban parks
Abstract:
The creation of municipal parks was the most significant development in gardening in the nineteeth century. More than 2,000 parks were made between 1840 and 1914, all financed from the public purse. This paper will explore the genesis of the parks’ movement from the community of gardeners, assisted by an underswell of support from the working-class population. It will show how the radical policies of the main progenitors, John Claudius Loudon and Joseph Paxton, helped to ensure that public parks were of the same high quality as the landed estates of the elite and that they provided not only the health benefits which were essential in overcrowded urban areas, but also suitable recreational facilities. A cadre of gardeners, led by Paxton and the Chatsworth School, with the requisite landscaping and engineering skills acquired whilst working on landed estates, designed and built the first municipal parks. The parks which they created fulfilled their ideals of benefiting the working classes by being universally free of access and providing amenities tailored to their needs, including sporting facilities which formed the crucible for the nascent Football Association. The parks were of particular benefit in providing safe spaces for women and children, and venues for gatherings such as shows, fetes, children’s events, and political meetings. Head gardeners with the necessary horticultural and management competency were appointed to maintain and supervise the parks once built. Gardeners succeeded in capturing control of the parks’ movement creating for themselves more employment opportunities, with greater responsibilities and enhanced job security. In doing so they freed themselves from the remnants of servility, becoming the masters.

Title: ‘Behold the sea!’ The geo-cultural place of landscape in Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony
Abstract:
The article examines Ralph Vaughan Williams’ first symphony, ‘A Sea Symphony’, from 1912, in the context of the British contemporary relationship to the sea as of defining national importance. It specifically looks for ways in which the symphony engages with narratives around the sea as a national landscape and a nationally defining geography. The article’s aim is to situate the symphonic output and text in a nationally embedded, articulated and traceable discourse around the seascape, and interrogate the ways in which it relates to and contributes to such discourse. It finds that the music resonates against historical, cultural and political engagements with the seascape, and puts forward ways in which these engagements can be heard through textures, expression and sonorities, as well as being seen in inspirations and interpretations of the relational sea-scape and its geographical situatedness.

Title: Immigrants’ habitus transference and recreational expectations in urban parks cultural landscape settings
Abstract:
This paper draws attention to the importance of immigrants’ efforts to maintain their cultural identities, which are often manifested through the way they use the built environment for recreational activities. It investigates the way recent first-generation Iranian immigrants use the Australian cultural landscape, specifically urban parks, for recreational activities. The process of habitus transference and the role of park settings and design characters in immigrants’ use of these spaces are examined by applying Q methodology with photographs, along with observation and semi- structured in-depth individual interviews. This study suggests that in the process of habitus transference recent immigrants tend to undertake recreational activities in the settings that support their understanding of landscape as mediated by their cultural background. It highlights the recent immigrants’ expectations of these spaces and the importance of a ‘fit’ between habitus and the park settings in generating a ‘sense of belonging’. However, the settings that are not aligned with the immigrants’ expectations and understanding of park spaces may alter their patterns of use after migration. The results of this study support urban park settings that offer a broad range of experiences: from naturalness to developed settings suitable for social activities.

Title: Holly and May: cultural symbolism and reality
Abstract:
Archaeology, history, ecology and ethnology are closely related to our understanding of landscape history but there are other cultural sources that deserve investigation. Here an attempt is made to look into related folklore. Two trees in particular epitomise the seasons — the holly and the hawthorn (may) — and this article considers why this should be so.Most of our seasonal rituals have an ancient ancestry but their meanings have changed over time. The holly was constantly seen as the tree of the waning year while the may heralded the beginnings of spring. In Celtic mythology the Oak King would give way to the Holly King as the seasons turned and the holly provided protection for the home. The holly gradually found its way into Christian rituals and was brought as greenery into the church at Christmas. But the holly’s dominance in winter also reflects its invaluable use as a winter fodder crop, especially during inclement weather.The may, on the other hand, was invariably associated with spring when the hawthorn was bursting into flower. In Celtic and later rural rituals, it was a fairy tree invariably seen as sacred, symbolising love and protection, youth and sexuality, and associated with fertility. The church decried the unseemly rituals that took place and attempted to see it as the thorn associated with Christ’s crucifixion. But rural May Day ceremonies rarely lapsed altogether — this tree was so closely seen as the harbinger of the fertility of crops and animals.

Title: Spanish dehesas as heritage: using participatory mapping and archival data to characterise the temporal evolution of an agrosilvopastoral cultural landscape
Abstract:
Dehesas, together with other private and communal agrarian landscape management enclosures, form part of a managed, sustainable, agrosilvopastoral landscape organisation in Spain. They embody the historic human arrangement of landscape resources in a semi-natural state where equilibrium exists between pasturing, farming and Mediterranean forest management. With their origins in the medieval period, many persist until the present day in different regions of the Iberian Peninsula. Today, dehesas represent a unique form of landscape history and character in the Spanish Portuguese Duero River borderlands. By the twentieth century, many of these historically managed landscapes had been confiscated and sold, resulting in new forms of territorial management. In the Comarca of Sayago, a region located in the south-west of Zamora province, Spain, landscape abandonment and twentyfirst century natural park preservation strategies have contributed to a rise of a more homogenous vegetative landscape that has replaced centuries of the once ecological diverse landscape of which dehesas formed an integral part. With population decline, the memory of the names, use and management of these dehesas is fading. Using three case studies, this research provides a temporal analysis of the dehesas in the Sayago region, their historic use and management, and their importance to the diachronic character, heritage and future sustainability of this region. New cartography is created delineating and characterising historic land use. Our findings demonstrate the importance of integrated, people-centred approaches to recover and valorise endangered landscape history and heritage.

Title: Public garden, British station and landscape perception in Bangalore City (1881–1934)
Abstract:
This paper presents the spatial and ideological connections between colonial perception of landscape, sanitary improvements and landscape change in Bangalore City under indirect colonial rule. Before 1947, Bangalore City in the princely state of Mysore developed alongside a British Civil and Military station. The colonial landscape perception of stinking ‘native’ settlements portrayed the British station as being superior to Bangalore City. In the early twentieth century, Bangalore City administration tried to remove this stigma by improving the city. Under indirect colonialism and the differences in landscape perceptions that it generated, the Mysore State’s public garden in Bangalore City became central to the activities of the newly improved city and presented a curated vision that could replace its unruly landscapes. The odourfree sanitary ‘garden’ extended into the city became the antithesis to its pre-British vernacular produce smallholdings.
