Reviews

This volume's strength is in solid empirical research into how early medieval landscape was settled, organised and exploited.
*MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY*

As befits the fruit of an interdisciplinary conference with a wide remit, the essays cover a wide range of themes, with several displaying considerable historical and philological subtlety.
*LANDSCAPE HISTORY*

Contains some excellent material that many will find very rewarding, and it will surely encourage further use of onomastic and documentary sources in the exploration of landscape history.
*THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW*

There is much of interest, ranging from detailed surveys of estate boundaries to wider contributions considering Scandinavian settlement.
*BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY*
