| Course description | This is one of two courses that familiarise students with different disciplinary approaches to the study of landscape and environmental history. Fortifications, farming, and forestry form elements in a 'neolithic to nuclear' long run survey of changes in the natural environment. Contributions from archaeology, ecology and on natural resources provide pathways that lead in year 2 to more specialist treatments in each of these areas. |
