LIVESTOCK FARMING AND THE LANDSCAPE
ABOUT THE PAPER
This paper will use an interdisciplinary research approach to explore the impact of livestock farming on the landscape across 1300-1800 in the uplands of northwest Europe.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

He is interested in the history of farming and the interaction between farmers, landscape and climate in the longue durée. Regarding his research approach, Dr. Costello says 'I would consider myself both a historian and an archaeologist and try to use multiple sources in my research.'
