Europe's Early Fieldscapes Archaeologies of Prehistoric Land Allotment

Stijn Arnoldussen is an Associate Professor in Later Prehistory at Groningen University. He is fascinated by the long-term development of (agri)cultural landscapes – particularly fieldsystems and the interplay of settlements, funerary sites and deposition between the Neolithic and the Roman Iron Age. He has recently excavated various later prehistoric field systems (known as Celtic fields or
raatakkers
in Dutch) in the Netherlands.



Robert Johnston is a Senior Lecturer in Landscape Archaeology at the University of Sheffield. He recently published 'Bronze Age Worlds' (2021), in which he considers the ways that kin relations were fundamental in forming the social life and landscapes of Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. He is currently researching landscape transformations in the upland and coastal landscapes of western Britain.
