An Upland Biography
Windgather Press (Verlag)
978-1-911188-15-5 (ISBN)
Gardom's Edge is an area of gritstone upland situated on the Eastern Moors of the Derbyshire Peak District. Like other parts of the Eastern Moors, Gardom's Edge has long been renowned for the wealth of prehistoric field systems, cairns and other structures which can still be traced across the surface. Drawing on the results of original survey and excavation, An Upland Biography documents prehistoric activity across this area, exploring the changing character of occupation from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. It also tacks back and forth between local detail and regional patterns, to better understand the broader social worlds in which Gardom's Edge was set.
John Barnatt has worked in the Peak District for five decades, as a survey archaeologist for the National Park since 1989, carrying out survey, excavation and assessment reports of many monuments and other sites here. One of his long-standing passions has been reaching understandings of the region’s prehistory. Bill Bevan is an archaeologist, heritage interpreter, writer and photographer. With a research background in Iron Age studies and landscape archaeology, he is best known for his lavishly illustrated Walk Into Prehistory and Walk Into the Dark Ages books. He is currently Chair of the Association for Heritage Interpretation. Mark Edmonds teaches for the UHI having recently retired as a lecturer in archaeology at York. He specialises in flint artefacts and prehistoric landscapes.
