Investigating Tree Archaeology History and Technology of Woodland Management and Product Use

The book considers various aspects of tree and woodland archaeology extending from the hedgerow / wood-pasture / wood [process] to final destination [product] and issues around the legacy of veteran trees and the evidence of past management and technologies that exist in the transformed products, some of which are still found today. It arose from the 2-day conference Investigating Tree Archaeology that was held in Sheffield, and from associated events and activities. The conference was organised by the South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group and the Landscape Conservation Forum with Sheffield Hallam University supported by Historic England.
