Open Fields and Earlier Landscapes: Six Parishes in South-east Cambridgeshire

Open Fields and Earlier Landscapes: Six Parishes in South-east Cambridgeshire AbstractThis article contributes to the debate over the origins of open-field agriculture through a detailed analysis of the 'champion' landscape of six Cambridgeshire parishes. It argues that the area's linear features predate the established open fields, and reflect prehistoric people's use of the area's diverse ecological resources. The open-field system here was not the result of planned allocation, but reflected the legacy of an earlier economy, and Anglo-Saxon farmers 'make-do-and-mend' approach to working the land. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Landscapes Taylor & Francis

Abstract

AbstractThis article contributes to the debate over the origins of open-field agriculture through a detailed analysis of the 'champion' landscape of six Cambridgeshire parishes. It argues that the area's linear features predate the established open fields, and reflect prehistoric people's use of the area's diverse ecological resources. The open-field system here was not the result of planned allocation, but reflected the legacy of an earlier economy, and Anglo-Saxon farmers 'make-do-and-mend' approach to working the land.
