The economic and social evolution of Lancashire's coastal areas c. 1150-1550: the evidence of minor place-names

1150 -1550年西兰开夏郡的经济和社会开发是什么？兰开夏郡的沿海和苔藓地区的演变是非常感兴趣的，鉴于最近的洪水和湿地管理的变化，但兰开夏郡的早期历史鲜为人知。这一拟议的CASE学生奖学金将通过调查和绘制小地名来揭示兰开夏郡历史土地利用的重要方面，这些地名包含了无法以任何其他方式收集的土地利用的丰富证据。被任命的学生将收集兰开夏郡档案馆文件中的字段和边界名称，创建一个数据库，并在地面上找到名称。将使用ArcGIS绘制这些名称，以揭示景观的发展情况。学生将使用由此产生的地图，名称本身和其他文件，以阐明超过四个世纪的经济和社会土地用途：从最早的书面证据，直到开始的大规模侵占的废物在中世纪时期。

What was the economic and social exploitation of the landscape in West Lancashire c.1150-1550? The evolution of Lancashire's coastal and mossland areas is of great interest in light of recent floods and changes to management of wetlands, and yet Lancashire's early history is little known. This proposed CASE studentship willuncover important aspects of historical land-use in Lancashire by investigating and mapping minor place names, which contain rich evidence on land use that cannot be gathered in any other way. The appointed student will gather field and boundary names from documents in Lancashire Archives, create a database, and locate the names on the ground. The names will be mapped using ArcGIS in order to reveal developments in the landscape. The student will employ the resulting maps, the names themselves and other documents in order to shedlight on more than four centuries of Economic and Social land use: from the earliest written evidence until the beginning oflarge-scale encroachment on the wastes in the Elizabethan period.
