Managing archaeological landscapes in Northumberland

"In this volume the authors develop an explicit evidence-based approach for tackling potential impacts at a landscape scale using the varied topography and landscape of north Northumberland as their case study. The approach is driven by understanding the landscape as a patchwork of landform elements, each with its own distinctive geological, geomorphological, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental associations, in order to provide a map-based character isation of the region." "Detailed archaeological surveys are included which inform the resulting management framework. The volume concludes with a series of case studies from different areas of landscape within north Northumberland. A second volume follows on from this study which provides an up to date and authoritative historical narrative for the region."--Jacket.
