Enclosure
Enclosure has long been linked to industrialization as part of a series of material and technical changes in farming which increased supply, enabling industrial development. This chapter argues that we need to move beyond a consideration of supply-and-demand and to see enclosure as a more-than-material process. Through enclosure, the land is privatized and the commons are diminished. Physical change to the landscape is tied to a transformation of…
History, Heritage and Sustainable Development
Evidence of how history and culture have been or should be harnessed to promote sustainability in remote and rural communities is mounting. To be sustainable, development must come from within, it must serve future generations as well as those in the present and it must attend to the vitality of culture, society, the economy and the environment. Historical research has an important contribution to make to sustainability, especially if undertaken …
Justice, development and the land
Scotland, like many other countries, is undergoing a transition to renewable energy. This paper discusses the social context within which this transition is taking place and which is conditioning the possibilities for energy development and its effects on people. In particular, the paper explores historically-rooted conflicts relating to land rights and wild land protection, considering these issues and their relationship to energy development in…
Introduction to a special issue
In any discussion of landscape characterisation the elephant in the room is the question of just what is landscape? Another way of putting this question is to simply ask: ‘How would you characterise landscape?’ What this implies is that there is a certain circularity in landscape characterisation because, through the very act of characterising landscape, one is also defining what one means by landscape. The European Landscape Convention’s definit…
A question of what matters
Sustainable development is a principle with the potential to inspire and guide action, but it is also a nebulous idea which is hard to operationalise. The concept of landscape character helps to turn this principle into practical action. Landscape character can be defined as ‘the things that matter’ about a landscape. Landscape characterisation is the process of determining what matters by identifying and assessing the complex interactions and re…

Archaeology and landscape ethics
Landscape has emerged as a significant site for archaeological practice: for our explorations of the past, our contributions to heritage conservation, management and planning and our interventions in the lives of others. Given this, it is imperative that we, as archaeologists, engage in an ongoing ethical discourse concerning our landscape work. In this paper, I aim to contribute to that process. I present a thematic review of developments in the…

Understanding Landscape
Understanding Landscape
This chapter explores some current traditions in post-medieval landscape archaeology and in landscape studies as practised by other relevant disciplines. It advocates an approach to landscape that aims to mediate between a well-grounded understanding of material conditions, possibilities and constraints, on the one hand, and human actions and experiences, on the other. It argues that this is best realised through a cross-disciplinary dialogue wit…
Crossing Paths or Sharing Tracks?
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…

Between archives and the site
A case is made that attention should shift from the archaeology of process, guided largely by the archival evidence, to the archaeology of practice by scrutinizing the material record. Holistic Context Analysis applied to the industrial soils and finds at Moffat Upper Steam Forge has led to a more coherent and realistic picture of construction and demolition at the site, as well as of its puddling industry, than could be learned from the historic…
Urban Myths
A generation ago, Scotland witnessed a campaign to establish Medieval urban archaeology as a viable proposition. Now, with growing interest in the more recent past, the time seems right to discuss the future of Scotland’s Modern urban archaeology. The Modern urban past is already served by a tradition in industrial archaeology, but there are good reasons to rethink that tradition and to develop a wider approach to the archaeology of urban society…
An age of transition? Castles and the Scottish Highland estate in the 16th and 17th centuries
In the archaeology of post-medieval rural Scotland, research traditions have inhibited \nunderstanding of social change prior to the 18th century as the emphasis has been on the dramatic \noverturn of ‘traditional’ society with Improvement and the Clearances. This contrasts with the \nsituation for England and, indeed other parts of Europe, where there is an established concern for \nthe much earlier ‘Age of Transition’ from medieval to modern. H…
Highland rural settlement studies
Reviews theoretical underpinnings of historical period rural settlement studies of the area
Rural Society in the Age of Reason
Archaeologies of Capitalism. Theory, Method and the Reconsideration of the Scottish Highlands
A lot of the comments deal with things I did not consider, as much as with those I did. As will become clear below, I am in agreement with many of the issues raised and think some of them provide significant avenues of enquiry. In general, this reply, perhaps more than it is a defence of what I did say, is an agreement that the various issues raised should inform future research on the Highlands in the recent past. I feel the discussion has been …
Rural settlement in the Age of Reason
This paper discusses the project of an archaeology of capitalism through a case study situated in the southern Scottish Highlands. It is argued that archaeology as a discipline has a significant contribution to make to discussions of the emergence and development of the social relations of capitalism. This is because archaeology has as one of its main concerns mundane social practice or routine. Changes in everyday routine and the associated mate…
