“…Collectively, the papers in the special issue present many case studies for integrating palaeoenvironmental data with survey and museum engagement to bring castle landscapes to life for a wider audience. These range from embedded, active museum engagement with a range of research strands, such as geo-radar survey (Runge 2019), to castles at risk from climate change (Kerr 2019), the challenges of presenting castle landscapes to the public (Bizri et al 2019), the challenges of conducting landscape research on urban fortifications (Borderie et al 2019), and the application of geoarchaeology to examine on-site and off-site activities associated with castles and cultural and natural heritage (Banerjea et al 2019).…”

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 paper introduces the theme of a special issue exploring the connections between castles (broadly defined as medieval fortified sites) and their landscapes, from archaeological and heritage perspectives. It includes a brief case study of how some of the castles in Occitanie, southern France, have been connected with their landscapes in the construction of Le Pays Cathare within the context of promoting regional tourism.

The lagoons are shallow freshwater and saline ponds created in the 1990s and form the eastern part of the Newport Wetlands National Nature Reserve.The area shows traces of a medieval landscape, with the Monks Drain, to the east of the lagoons, perhaps being constructed in the thirteenth century. Goldcliff Point on the coast is the focus of much prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity. See Chapters 1, 2 and 18 for discussion of this area of Wales (photo: T. Driver; © Living Levels).Back cover: Martin with his iconic 'Red foreshore box', April 2021. The intertidal zone at Goldcliff has been Martin Bell's principal focus of research for the last 30 years. Evidence of human presence from the Mesolithic onwards has been found, and is one of the best-known areas in Britain for human footprints, a topic explored in Chapter 2 of this volume (photo: T. Walker).
