Planning in the Early Medieval Landscape

Beschreibung

This interdisciplinary book - embracing archaeological and historical sources - uses new and unexpected evidence to explore the extent to which buildings, settlements, and field systems in Anglo-Saxon England were laid out using sophisticated surveying techniques. This included using geometrically precise grids, suggesting the revival of the techniques of the Roman land-surveyors.
