Anthropogenic Heathlands -Disturbance ecologies and the social organisation of past resilient landscapes

The Anthropogenic Heathlands project (ANTHEA) is led by associate professor Mette Løvschal at Aarhus University and runs for a period of five years (2020–2025). Its chrono- logical span covers 2800 BC–AD 1000, with particular focus on the historical trajectories of heathland establishments and survival of large-scale reorganisations, including land allotment and de-/reforestation. Seven case-study areas spanning from south-western Norway to south-western Britain will form shared geographic focal points for the project.
