Landscape, Climate and Lived Environment Research Cluster (LCLE)

Description

The Landscape, Climate and Lived Environment Research Cluster (LCLE) is a group of researchers who study the relationships between past human societies, their environment, and climate change.

The LCLE examine human histories in a diverse range of environments – stretching across the British Isles, the Middle East, and tropical South America. To resolve these complex relationships, the LSCE undertake an inter-disciplinary approach, combining expertise across paleoenvironmental science and social archaeology and geoarchaeology.

The LCLE work in close collaboration with colleagues in the Centre for Past Climate Change (CPCC), the Built Environment and Environmental Sciences, the Schools of Architecture and Biological Sciences, as well as the Museum for English Rural Life.

The LSCE's current research is framed around three central themes:

1. Human-environment interactions
2. Neolithisation; transformation in human society
3. Landscapes of religious, cultural and political transformation
