Settlement Change and Climatic Fluctuations in the East Anglian Breckland c.1000BC - 1600 AD

这个博士研究项目将集中在定居点和土地利用在东盎格鲁布雷克兰在longue durée的变化模式，以及在何种程度上这些可以与气候变化相关联。在“边缘”环境中的景观发展可以用气候波动来解释吗？这能告诉我们什么关于不同空间尺度上环境变化的复杂性？将参考各种资料来源，包括考古材料和文献证据以及生态和气候数据，以提供尽可能全面的分析。

This PhD research project will focus on changing patterns of settlement and land use in the East Anglian Breckland in the longue durée and the extent to which these can be associated with climatic change. Can landscape developments in a 'marginal' environment be explained in terms of climatic fluctuation? And what might this tell us about the complexities of environmental change at different spatial scales? A diverse range of sources will be consulted, including archaeological material and documentary evidence as well as ecological and climatic data to provide as comprehensive analysis as possible.
