Bronze Age upland settlement dynamics in Ireland and northern Britain: environmental vs. non-environmental drivers

环境和社会经济因素对英国和爱尔兰史前高地定居动态的影响一直是长期争论的焦点。然而，大部分的争论都集中在英国南部的数据上，这些数据对其他地区的代表性和适用性仍然没有得到充分的探讨。该项目旨在解决这一问题，对公元前第二个千年和公元前第一个千年早期英国北方和爱尔兰边缘地区高地定居动态的现有信息进行调查和系统化，并将其与更广泛的考古和古环境记录结合起来。

The impact of both environmental and socio-economic factors on the dynamics of prehistoric upland settlement in Britain and Ireland has been at the centre of a long-running debate. Most of that debate, however, has been centred around data from southern Britain, whose representativeness and applicability to other regions remains under-explored. This project seeks to address that issue, by surveying and systematizing available information on the dynamics of upland settlement in marginal landscapes of northern Britain and Ireland for the second and early first millennium BC, and place this into context with the wider archaeological and palaeoenvironmental record.
