English Landscape and Identities. Studying English archaeology from 1500BC to AD1086. Skip to primary content. More on mapping pottery. Further to my previous post. After my blogpost, Helena Hamerow found a map in a publication by Catherine Hills which included a map of earlier Anglo-Saxon pottery. A little bit more investigation showed that this was adapted from Myres 1969 (Map 1). As such, it is clearly a very old source, with no evidence included from the massive post-1990 explosion. Myres 0.5 Mar...

The Archaeology of Agriculture. Double Review: Bringlish Landscapes. September 23, 2014. 8220;That’s a classic,” said the man in the Oxfam shop, tapping the front cover of the little paperback. I nodded in agreement. “I thought it was about time I bought a copy.”. There was a pregnant pause. 8220;That’ll be one ninety-nine,” he intoned. And so it was that I bought a copy of a true classic in the field:. Hoskins, W.G. 1955. The Making of the English Landscape. Pryor, F. 2010. Hoskins quotes extensively fr...

Sorting the sheep from… the other sheep | Farming Unearthed

The Archaeology of Agriculture. Sorting the sheep from… the other sheep. May 30, 2015. May 30, 2015. Continuing this blog’s impromptu ‘DNA season’, I’d like to flag up another recent article. Now this is ingenious stuff. It made me chuckle with admiration, in an I-wish-I’d-thought-of-that sort of way. First, the problem: historic livestock. How can we know what breeds of livestock were kept in the past? How far back can we trace so-called ‘heritage breeds’? The Past Horizons website has a good summary.

Origins 1: Britain goes nutty? | Farming Unearthed
https://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/origins-1-britain-goes-nutty
The Archaeology of Agriculture. Origins 1: Britain goes nutty? September 17, 2012. July 14, 2014. Well, what better place to start than Britain itself, home to this blogger, and subject to a recent article in that venerable warhorse. Stevens and Fuller 2012). This article begins by claiming to rewrite the early history of Britain – no small claim! And as a bonus (for me), it’s written by two archaeobotanists, so how could I resist reviewing it here on.
