| Abstract | The English Landscapes and Identities project (EngLaId), University of Oxford, is a 5-year research project studying the long-term development of the English rural landscape, from the first evidence of relatively large-scale agriculture in the middle Bronze Age to the period of the Domesday survey in the 11th century. Drawing together an unprecedented quantity of archaeological and scientific data into GIS, it seeks to understand the changes and continuities that led to the formation of England's medieval countryside. The project is currently in its third year, and this session presents the ongoing research of 3 of EngLaId's researchers, focusing on GIS methodologies and the study of food and diets in early medieval England. |
