Research title: A Palaeoenvironmental investigation of the southern Scottish Highlands to understand past landscapes and future management programmes.
Research Summary
My Mres is on land-use and agricultural practice in upland landscapes in the late-Medieval and early-modern period, with a primary focus on environmental records and these records interact with the archaeological and historic records from the same geographies and periods. I am particularly interested in peatland and the narratives and histories that can be told about and from peatlands. I am wanting to explore tension between disciplines within archaeology and how to integrate palaeoenvironmental work, archaeological study, as well as the conservation and rewetting of peatland.
