Early Landscape and Pre-Modern Fields on the Causse Méjean, Lozère, Languedoc, France

Early Landscape and Pre-Modern Fields on the Causse Méjean, Lozère, Languedoc, France AbstractThe geography, field archaeology and relevant previous work are summarised. The discovery and partial recording so far of extensive early landscape evidence, exposed and made accessible by a forest fire in August, 2003, are described and discussed with particular reference to cairns, tracks and fields of prehistoric to medieval times. The recognition of a distinctive medieval field system is assessed in terms of its documentation and implications for dating similar remains on the Causse. A plea for appreciation of this new evidence is entered in view of the likelihood of land-use change as a result of the fire. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Landscapes Taylor & Francis

Abstract

AbstractThe geography, field archaeology and relevant previous work are summarised. The discovery and partial recording so far of extensive early landscape evidence, exposed and made accessible by a forest fire in August, 2003, are described and discussed with particular reference to cairns, tracks and fields of prehistoric to medieval times. The recognition of a distinctive medieval field system is assessed in terms of its documentation and implications for dating similar remains on the Causse. A plea for appreciation of this new evidence is entered in view of the likelihood of land-use change as a result of the fire.
