Description and Table of Contents
Description
The subject of this work is the archaeology of exploitation of woodland on and around Exmoor, in south-west England. Firstly, it attempts to analyse patterns of woodland management over a large area. Secondly, the area studied in this research is an upland and its fringes, with a dispersed settlement pattern, which is an environment of a type still under-represented in work on landscape development. Thirdly, the geographical area selected for study, Exmoor and its fringes, saw relatively little sustained scholarly work until the 1990s. The results of the surveys of the 1990s, which recorded a high level of archaeological features relating to woodland management, indicate that further progress can now be made by analysing and interpreting the data. The period covered by this research runs from the date of Domesday Book (1086) to the early 19th century. With appendices of data and CD ROM.
