"The Northern Counties to AD 1000 deals with the prehistory and early history of the most northerly region of England, covering the historical counties of Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire north of the Sands. The greater part of the source material derives, from archaeological or palaeoenvironmental research, though there are more conventional historical sources for the interlude of the Roman occupation and for the golden age of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria and its aftermath, with which the volume closes. Dr Higham has not been content solely to organise evidence into the usual framework of successive human cultures; rather, he has preferred to concentrate on the ways the local community adapted itself to changing environmental conditions, and changing technological and social possibilities. He also makes the underlying assumption of the genetic continuity of this population from the late mesolithic onwards, despite the impact of the specific migrations which demonstrably took place. In addition he shows how changing climatic and environmental conditions acted as a catalyst between human population levels, the demands made by man, and the environment on which those demands were made. In doing so, he stresses the responsibility of man for impoverishing that environment."--
