Early to Middle Bronze Age agricultural terraces in north-east England: Morphology, dating and cultural implications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-06)Terracing is found widely in the Mediterranean and in other hilly and mountainous regions of the world. Yet while archaeological attention to these ‘mundane’ landscape features has grown, they remain understudied, particularly in Northern Europe. Here, the authors present a multidisciplinary study of terraces in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. The results date their construction to the Early ... -
Soil organic carbon stabilization mechanisms and temperature sensitivity in old terraced soils
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-08)Being the most common human-created landforms, terrace construction has resulted in an extensive perturbation of the land surface. However, our mechanistic understanding of soil organic carbon (SOC) (de-)stabilization mechanisms and the persistence of SOC stored in terraced soils is far from complete. Here we explored the factors controlling SOC stability and the temperature sensitivity (<i>Q</i>< ... -
Volume estimation of soil stored in agricultural terrace systems: a geomorphometric approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-06)High-resolution topographic (HRT) techniques allow the mapping and characterization of geomorphological features with wide-ranging perspectives at multiple scales. We can exploit geomorphometric information in the study of the most extensive and common landforms that humans have ever produced: agricultural terraces. We can only develop an understanding of these historical landform through in-depth ...
