Among the most common questions asked by archaeologists who study past agrarian landscapes are the following:1) How did farmers use land (in terms of the activities by which they made a living)?2) On what basis did they claim the right to occupy and use land (in terms of territorial possession, 'ownership', common rights, etc)?3) In what sequence was land occupied, and what general principles governed sequences of colonisation, 'intensification', and territorial sub-division?4) To what extent were territorial patterns stable over long periods of time? How frequently did political and social action take place in the context of a relatively unchanging political geography?5) Was there a hierarchy of places and communities, rooted in history, which influenced their relative social, political and economic power
