The measurement and analysis of space is central to archaeological
study, such as through the recording of site plans and sections and
the interpretation of spatial relationships between artefacts and
features. Modelling Hidden Landscapes details a different approach
to the study of past patterns of environmental change within the
broader framework of landscape archaeology. It utilizes a range of
quantitative and qualitative methodologies and GIS modelling to
investigate spatial and temporal patterns of Holocene landscape
change for two raised mires in south Yorkshire: Hatfield and Thorne
Moors. Whilst concerned with specific aspects of landscape
evolution, such as peat growth and spread, the volume aims to
illustrate the synergy which is generated through integrating
spatial models with chronological modelling and stratigraphic,
cartographic, topographical, environmental and archaeological
information in order to better understand past landscapes, human
activity and the archaeological record. Building on a rich legacy
of previous palaeoenvironmental research on these moors, the data
generated by this combined methodology has practical applications
for current management concerns, including in situ preservation,
heritage and policy.
