Life’s essentials such as sustenance, fuel, shelter and material crafts have a fundamental relationship to the exploitation of natural resources. Given this pervasiveness of resource use, human action has had a profound influence on shaping the world around us, and with current global politics and a growing recognition of the threats of environmental change, it is not surprising that the voices of environmental archaeology have grown much louder in recent years. At the forefront of the study of past humanenvironment relationships, environmental archaeologists are keenly placed to explore what it means to live through longand short-term environmental change, contributing powerful and evidence-based accounts of human-environment interactions from the deep and recent past and their on-going ramifications (Dearing et al. 2006; d’Alpoim Guedes et al. 2016). Such explorations encompass not only changes to local and regional environments precipitated by human activity (e.g. Fairhead and Leach 1996; Redman 1999; Butzer 2005), but also the responses in human behaviour that are themselves stimulated by dynamic and changing environments (e.g. Rockman and Steele 2003; Cooper and Sheets 2012; Kintigh and Ingram 2018). The importance of these themes is reflected in the increasing reach of the discipline outside of the traditional boundaries of archaeology (e.g. Sandweiss and Kelley 2012; Guttmann-Bond 2019; though see Richer et al. 2019 for commentary). Within this broader framework, this special issue brings together a selection of papers presented at the 40th conference of the Association of Environmental Archaeology held in 2019 at the University of Sheffield. This conference provided an opportunity to reflect on the discipline’s past, and debate its future in the context of growing bodies of data, the integration of multiple proxies for change, new analytical techniques and fresh theoretical paradigms. The call for the conference was broad, reflecting the breadth of sub-disciplines that fall under the umbrella of environmental archaeology, yet urged for papers that explored environmental change from the human perspective, through engagement with questions of change, adaptation, sustainability and human impact. The Association for Environmental Archaeology (AEA) has been at the forefront of environmental archaeology for the past 40 years. Beginning in the UK as a means of communication between specialists in an emerging field, the Association has developed into an international body adapting to the evolving and expanding approaches environmental archaeology now encompasses. The AEA champions the study of the relationship between humans and the environment, and the implications of that relationship for the development of human society and our impact on the world around us. The health and appeal of environmental archaeology is reflected by the ","PeriodicalId":48745,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Archaeology","volume":"28 1","pages":"223 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48833072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This special issue presents four papers that explore how the dynamics between nature and culture both affected, and was affected by, the development of medieval urban settlements in the North Atlantic region, and more specifically in medieval England and Norway. Insights through interdisciplinary discussions of new and previously known archaeological data, in juxtaposition to written sources, and from novel theoretical perspectives, allow us to gain a deeper knowledge of the aforementioned dynamics. The focus on medieval urban sites becomes significant due to the recent tendencies in environmental history to promote the study of more varied social and demographic contexts as these are inevitably linked to, formed by, and forming back the environment within which they are created. In the Middle Ages, the environment was certainly under pressure and was transformed by, among other factors, intensified centralisation and urbanisation. Medieval towns were some of the first institutions that left a distinct ‘ecological footprints’, as they were dependent on the intensified exchange of energy (food, water, fuel), material (wood, stone, raw material) and waste with the surrounding ecosystems. Towns were also the main foci of political, administrative, economic, and religious activities, and the places where descriptive and prescriptive narratives about the society and people’s place in the environment were often (but not exclusively) written. Medieval urbanisation, inseparable from its environment, encompassed ecological and cultural innovations that changed nature-culture dynamics permanently and formed the historical background for modern urban development. In the first article, ‘Urban Infrastructures & Environmental Risk in Medieval England’, Roberta J. Magnusson accounts for how infrastructure sustainability became an acute problem in England during the Great Transition of the late Middle Ages. The shift from the Medieval Climate Anomaly to the Little Ice Age led to more erratic weather fluctuations and amplified the frequency and violence of severe storms. A growing mismatch in scale between rising infrastructure costs and declining resources was not just another wobble that could be corrected by a renewed mobilisation of traditional recovery mechanisms. If medieval urban infrastructures were to survive into the early modern world, they, and the organisational systems that supported them, would require reconfiguring and restructuring. This article addresses how the environmental hazards threatened three types of urban infrastructures in medieval England: rubble-core city walls, arched masonry bridges, and maritime harbour fixtures, and the ways in which medieval townsmen sought to sustain these public works.
