Amidst burgeoning evidence for the beauty, strength, fragility and flux of our natural world, and global efforts to protect its future survival, the UKRI -funded ‘Rewilding’ later prehistory project is building a positive archaeological account of human-landscape relationships in Britain. This talk presents initial project work to gather and interpret a substantial body of evidence for prehistoric wildlife (from 2500 BCE to 43 CE) and to make this evidence fit for future research. It asks what wildlife was in prehistoric Britain, if and how wildlife mattered to people in the past, and why archaeological characterisations of wildlife are relevant for current attempts to recover nature.
