{"product_id":"medieval-welsh-settlement-and-territory-jemma-bezant-9781407304427","title":"Medieval Welsh Settlement and Territory: Archaeological evidence from a Teifi valley landscape","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrincipally through the use of landscape archaeology, this work explores the medieval landscape of west Wales, particularly the 'cwmwd' of Gwinionydd in the central Teifi valley, Ceredigion. The main focus of the study is to recreate the 'cwmwd-maenor-tref', territorial system administered by a pre-conquest Welsh aristocracy and locate native tenures along with their specific agricultural regimes. A retroactive analysis of estate structures, such as those at Llanfair and Llanllyr, establishes their medieval antecedence and they are considered alongside the monastic granges of Whitland, Strata Florida and Talley abbeys. This project draws upon techniques including field survey, remote sensing, geophysics, mapping and terrain modelling using Geographic Information Systems and Lidar data. These are complemented by excavation to target and clarify the interpretation of the survey results. The work can be viewed as a trans-disciplinary landscape analysis that has implications for future approaches to the study of rural Wales: this successful study of an apparently inscrutable rural landscape is relevant for research and curatorial disciplines alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jemma Bezant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407304429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407304427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.36d","brand":"Jemma Bezant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442224509183,"sku":"9781407304427","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dafcf6dd-3796-4cb1-aff9-a562c4918b59.jpg?v=1777195943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-welsh-settlement-and-territory-jemma-bezant-9781407304427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
