This publication deals with the archaeological and documentary
evidence for mans' activities in Binsted and Kingsley
(Hampshire/Surrey, S. England) during this period between the last
Ice Age and the post-medieval period. An interim publication on the
Alice Holt Roman potteries contains a short section on the
contemporary landscape, accompanied by a rather rudimentary map of
the distribution of Roman sites in Binsted and Kingsley parishes
between Alton and the Hampshire/Surrey county boundary in
north-east Hampshire. The ten years following this publication saw
an intensive programme of landscape study in order to explore and
understand the changing pattern of human settlement and land
utilisation within the area over the last 10000 years or so.
Conclusions of the current research reported in this volume are
based on seven years of field-walking between 1981 and 1988, as
well as some carried out during the early 1970s. All but about half
a dozen of the arable fields within the 42 square kilometres of
land encompassed by the two parishes were walked and most of the
permanent pasture and woodland was also examined. This fieldwork
was backed up by the survey of a number of vernacular buildings
dating from before AD 1300 to c. AD 1700. Five flights were also
carried out between 1981 and 1983 for the purpose of air
photography. Excavations were carried out on Alice Holt Roman
pottery waste dumps and other sites of all periods in and around
the forest.
