Where are we here?
Jay Doubleyou: A field trip
Which leads us to a very popular, long-established TV series:
Time Team - Channel 4
A good place to start would be here:
Jay Doubleyou: Tintagel
Jay Doubleyou: king arthur's britain
And a very popular TV historian on the BBC takes a village into its history through its landscape:
Jay Doubleyou: The Making of the British Landscape...
... with some nice clips here:
BBC Four - Michael Wood's Story of England, Romans to Normans
BBC - BBC TV blog: Michael Wood's Story Of England
As he says, the problem for historians is that before a certain time, there aren't any documents to tell us 'what happened':
Jay Doubleyou: Something from the air…
... and there are alternative ways of 'reading' the landscape:
Was there a Celtic Sanctuary in Mid-Devon? Part One. : Devon Dowsers
Was There A Celtic Sanctuary In Mid-Devon? Part Two. : Devon Dowsers
Landscape history is being explored at museums and schools:
Jay Doubleyou: Schools are taking this seriously
... again with lots of video clips from the BBC:
BBC - Britain From Above - Stories - Secrets - Hidden Civilisations
And from looking at the things from the air, back to looking at things on a map:
Jay Doubleyou: maps
To what extent have we humans changed our landscape?
Some would say this has been pretty dramatic:
Jay Doubleyou: sustainable and unsustainable lifestyles in the past... and today
... and perhaps into the future:
Jay Doubleyou: anthropocene
Futures Forum: Climate change... and 'Interstellar': degrading soil and running out of food
