SUMMARY:Enduring Structures\, Patterns of Change: ‘English’ Landscapes
  in the Northern Atlantic\, 1000-1800CE - Matthew Johnson (Northwestern Un
 iversity)

DESCRIPTION:This talk will weave together two intellectual threads.  The f
 irst is the long-term history of the ‘English’ landscape\, a story tra
 ditionally told in terms of stable and local identities\, enduring structu
 res\, and the very long term. The second is the developing understanding o
 f the ‘Atlantic world’ in terms of movement\, hybridity\, and cultural
  exchange\, and a view of identity as fluid\, shifting and unstable. How c
 ould or should these two apparently very different ways of thinking come t
 ogether when they have a common object of study – a sundial on a parish 
 church\, a restored castle\, a vernacular farmstead?  I do not pretend to 
 have a full response to this question\, but a partial answer may be found 
 to be hiding in plain sight:  in the basic methods of archaeological enqui
 ry\, for example stratigraphy\, and the basic patterns revealed through su
 ch enquiry\, for example the distribution map.\n\nThis presentation will b
