This article examines this important relationship using data from the Suffolk Historic Environment Record and the Portable Antiquities Scheme. It is suggested that the association between deserted settlement sites and parish boundaries has a much longer pedigree than is often suggested, persisting through the Norman Conquest and beyond. It is argued the origins of this relationship can be usefully understood in terms of territorial reorganisation following settlement abandonment.","PeriodicalId":38043,"journal":{"name":"Landscapes (United Kingdom)","volume":"23 1","pages":"123 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49272120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the study of Late Roman/Early Medieval rural churches, and how they fit and figure in the landscape, remains a theme underdeveloped in comparison with other Mediterranean islands, where the theory of ‘landmark churches’ has been forged through the combination of archaeological, environmental, and spatial analyses. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Sicily, using the newly discovered church of San Nicola and its surrounding settled landscape as a case-study. It will be argued that this monument functioned as a physical and likely symbolic landmark in this wider settled landscape, acting as a means of orientation along the roads of the island interior, and influencing settlement patterns in specific historical periods of rural settlement growth and/or crisis.","PeriodicalId":38043,"journal":{"name":"Landscapes (United Kingdom)","volume":"23 1","pages":"103 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42703823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stamper","doi":"10.1080/14662035.2023.2176995","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14662035.2023.2176995","url":null,"abstract":"Schaich and colleagues at Freiburg establishes the importance of holes in old beech, spruce and Scots pines as nesting sites and places ‘for hiding during the night’ for the Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius). Larger holes are used by the Stock Dove (Columba oenas) (p. 180). The value of the category ‘ancient woodland’ in Turkey is effectively examined in a chapter by Simay Kirca and colleagues who use as case studies ancient woods of box (Buxus sempervirens) and yew (Taxus baccata). Further valuable chapters explore the biodiversity of oaks in Turkey, and the cultural values of ancient black pines (Pinus nigra) on Sandras Mountain. Melvyn Jones explores the many different ways in which coppice woods were protected from grazing and theft, by walls, woodbanks and woodwards in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, while Christine Handley and Ian Rotherham provide a detailed history of the links between the tanning industry and woodland management. Elisabeth Johann’s wide-ranging chapter on the diversity of ancient woodlands in Austria includes assessments of a remarkable nineteenth-century drawing of branch litter harvesting (p. 220) and a 1518 document concerning the designation of Rannachwald as a protection forest to reduce the risk of avalanches. Frans Vera in a characteristically thorough chapter draws out the value of wood pasture for food, wood and biodiversity. He provides detailed assessments of the feeding strategies of wild and domesticated ungulates, and the significance of the different ways in which blackthorn and hawthorn spread in pastures. He also uses the work of J. Bossema and others to explore the complex interactions between jays, wood mice and acorns and the implications for the spread of oak trees and ‘the phenomenon of oaks seeming to grow entwined with hawthorn in wood-pasture’ (p. 247). Vera provides a thoughtful critique of the use of the term ‘natural regeneration’ in forestry (p. 250) and argues that ‘in the classic forestry literature wood-pastures are considered to be degraded closed-canopy forests... instead of a well-functioning ecosystem driven by large ungulates’ (p. 258). This important book makes an original contribution to debates about tree and woodland conservation. There is something here for everyone interested in landscape and woodland history and conservation. The book is very attractively produced, and the many colour illustrations, maps and photographs help the authors to strengthen their arguments. The editors and authors are to be congratulated on producing such a valuable and significant text. Indeed, the value of the book is greater than the sum of its parts and it provides a splendid illustration of the ability of edited books to characterise a research area and stimulate further research.","PeriodicalId":38043,"journal":{"name":"Landscapes (United Kingdom)","volume":"23 1","pages":"168 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45594927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key to self-aggrandisement was the ownership of local power centres, into which aristocrats poured investment. In England, few of these magnate cores have been investigated archaeologically, and understanding relies on a small corpus of well-excavated sites. Eager to shift this dependence on excavated evidence, research at Laughton en le Morthen, South Yorkshire used a range of methods to reveal the origins of an aristocratic centre, and its transformation in the wake of the Norman Conquest. This included construction of a motte and bailey castle that was perhaps never used for military purposes, but was instead curated as a folly-type feature expressive of new lordly power. The results from Laughton not only allow the evolution of the site and its landscape to be mapped, but also shows the value of adopting diverse archaeological research methodologies for understanding medieval magnate cores.","PeriodicalId":38043,"journal":{"name":"Landscapes (United Kingdom)","volume":"23 1","pages":"140 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44873209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Das originally planned to publish them under the title ‘Banglar Trasta Nilima’ (‘Bengal’s Shaken Sky’) but instead they published posthumously in 1957 as Rupasi Bangla (‘Bengal the Beautiful’). The essay argues, referring to the ideas of J. Scott Bryson and Jonathan Bate, that Das’s poems in this volume can be seen as ecopoetry, even though long pre-dating the coining of that term, and analyses their representation of dwelling and of human life and nature. To explicate the poet’s idea of dwelling, the essay examines the poet’s antipathy towards the city and his portrayal of the pastoral. It also argues that the poet’s idea of dwelling has similarity with the philosophy of deep ecology. Finally, following Lawrence Buell, the essay evaluates Das’s ecocritical perspective and cites the environmental philosophy of Arne Naess to justify Das’s environmental consciousness in these ecopoems.","PeriodicalId":38043,"journal":{"name":"Landscapes (United Kingdom)","volume":"23 1","pages":"67 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43263158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
