Landscape Survey Group @landscapesurvey.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

💠Call for Papers!💠 LSG Conference, 6-7 Nov 2026, N.Yorkshire, UK. Resilient Landscapes - applying archaeological survey & understanding to holistic Nature Recovery Abstracts due by 31 July. Expand attached poster for full details ⤵️ #LandscapeArchaeology #NatureRecovery #Archaeology 🏺 #LSG2026

Poster text, shortened for ALT text:
Resilient Landscapes - applying archaeological survey and understanding to holistic Nature Recovery.
Fri 6 & Sat 7 November 2026. Memorial Hall, Pickering & the North York Moors National Park.

The Landscape Survey Group’s 2026 conference will combine a day of in-person presentations followed by a day visiting the North York Moors.

The conference will explore the growing role of landscape archaeology in shaping nature recovery, climate resilience and long-term land management. It seeks to bring together archaeologists, heritage/ecology/conservation professionals, land managers and community groups to consider how applied archaeological knowledge and investigation can help support better decision-making. At a time when environmental change is accelerating, this conference asks how the deep-time perspective of landscape archaeology can help shape more resilient futures. By reading the past carefully, we can act in ways that respect complexity, protect heritage, restore ecological value and strengthen the relationship between people and place.
Papers are sought on how archaeological evidence, historic landscape character, traditional land-use and community memory can all contribute to more integrated approaches to nature recovery. Focus will be placed on recent case studies where landscape archaeology has helped develop collaborative, landscape-level restoration and recovery strategies. Projects may include (but need not be restricted to) improving biodiversity, habitat creation or other landscape management work. Presentations should show how archaeological survey, including field observation and recording, aerial survey methodologies and local knowledge can reveal not only what survives, but how that understanding can support practical management, partnership working and wider public benefit.
To contribute a 20min paper or a poster, please send titles & abstracts (250 words max) to andrew.burn@historicengland.org.uk by 31 July.

Lawrence Shaw @lawrence-shaw.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

I wonder why disagreement in archaeology turn so quickly into public criticism. It doesn’t just divide us it risks distancing the local societies and interest groups we should be working with. Their choices may not be align with best practice, but that’s where guidance matters more than judgement.
