Environment, Archaeology and Landscape is a collection of papers dedicated to Martin Bell on his retirement as Professor of Archaeological Science at the University of Reading. Three themes outline how wetland and inland environments can be related and investigated using multi-method approaches. 'People and the Sea: Coastal and Intertidal Archaeology' explores the challenges faced by humans in these zones - particularly relevant to the current global sea level rise. 'Patterns in the Landscape: Mobility and Human-environment Relationships' includes some more inland examples and examines how past environments, both in Britain and Europe, can be investigated and brought to public attention. The papers in 'Archaeology in our Changing World: Heritage Resource Management, Nature Conservation and Rewilding' look at current challenges and debates in landscape management, experimental and community archaeology. A key theme is how archaeology can contribute time depth to an understanding of biodiversity and environmental sustainability. This volume will be of value to all those interested in environmental archaeology and its relevance to the modern world.

'This volume therefore provides interesting and important new data and perspectives on a range of subjects, both technical and more theoretical. Importantly, the volume reminds us all of the immense value of our mentors and colleagues like Martin, who nourish our careers and enrich our lives.'  Jane Sidell (2022): The Prehistoric Society, June 2022 Organising a book around the career of a researcher is an effective way of getting a cross-section of research in a specific field. It may not be a book that the average reader will read cover to cover; neither is it one that provides a complete overview of landscape archaeology and environmental change (however, this is not the aim of the book). It is a book for anyone who wants to know more about the work of Martin Bell and the field he has contributed to so much to over the past five decades; and for collaborators of Bell to reminisce about joint efforts and enjoy the, often touching, memories and anecdotes from his collaborators throughout the book.  Alice Milner (2022): The Holocene, DOI: 10.1177/0959683622109469

Catherine Barnett is a senior visiting research fellow, Department of Archaeology, University of Reading, investigating UK prehistoric landscapes; an IMAA workshop co-organiser and former codirector of the Silchester Environs project. She uses archaeological science techniques to examine human involvement in and responses to landscape-scale change. She is a technical director at Stantec, leading a multi-disciplinary team in pursuit of sustainable global design solutions. ;





Thomas Walker studied archaeology as a mature student at the University of Reading, gaining a BSc in 2010 and PhD in 2015. He is the author of The Gwithian Environment; molluscs and archaeology on Cornish sand dunes (Archaeopress, 2018). His current interests are in molluscs in archaeology. He regularly assists Martin Bell in his excavations and research, particularly at Goldcliff in the Gwent Levels.
