| Abstract | This round table discusses the preliminary findings and broad context of the Herstmonceux Project, an ambitious international, interdisciplinary project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Project aims to uncover the lost medieval village of Herstmonceux, abandoned at a time of climate change, to reveal the impact of climate on late medieval land use, settlement, and culture. To do this, we blend archival research, archaeology, palaeontology, and climatology.
