2 Background pre 1970 RCHME 1908 World Wars Town and Country Planning Acts of 1944, 1947 and 1968 Architectural history Ecclesiastical, seigniorial and polite structures C Fox and Lord Raglan, N Pevsner and M Wood W. G. Hoskins and W Pantin

3 Background pre 1970 Wharram Percy D.M.V. 1950-1990 Historian - M Beresford Archaeologist - J Hurst Later C Dyer Localised study Why did a whole village disappear?

4 Background c1965 – 1980s Move toward Processual Archaeology Chronologies – typologies Regional variations Classifications All data driven C Hewett, R. W. Brunskill, R Harris Vernacular?

5 Background 1980s-1990s Post-Processual Archaeology Birth of Buildings Archaeology 1993 (Morriss 2000) Dendrochronolgy Social and economic variables Wider implications/subjects Diffusionism C Dyer, M Johnson, T James, E Roberts and S Pearson

6 NOW Cognitive Archaeology Understanding the why? Digital Archaeology Mobile Archaeology / Geophysics Holistic approach Immersive Virtual technologies Solid Dendrochronolgies Media driven - Time Team, etc M Johnson, C Dyer, D Miles, R Morriss and R Samson

7 Whittlewood Project Prof C Dyer 2000-05 100km² Communal landscape management study Holistic approach Public involvement No chronological boundaries Full digital archive http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/archive/whittlewood_ahrb_2006/

9 Cognitive Archaeology the study of past ways of thought from material remains (Renfrew & Bahn 2000) To try understand how people thought about and engaged with their environment
