Publisher's Synopsis
"Palaeography in Practice" presents an interdisciplinary approach to palaeohydrological research, which is a comparatively new development in environmental research. The Severn and Wye basins of the UK are used as case studies to demonstrate how such research should be carried out. Topics covered include river channel changes and climatic and hydrological change. Reconstructions are used to show how prehistoric changes have influenced the development of today's landscape. The Severn basin is set in the European context and the interrelationships of various themes are discussed.
