This project will investigate how changing climatic conditions in the Middle Ages effected the pattern and distribution of settlement and land use in Norfolk. Medieval settlement and land use are characterised by their fluidity, constantly shifting location over the course of the Middle Ages. Explanations of medieval settlement have recognised the pivotal role played by environmental factors in determining settlement shift but have failed to recognise the crucial role short- and long-term fluctuations in climatic conditions, such as temperature, rainfall, levels of solar irradiance, and changes in mean sea-level had on the nature and distribution of medieval settlement. It is this gap in the existing literature that this project will seek to fill, shedding light on a topical and chronically under-researched subject that will enhance our understanding of how climatic fluctuations influenced the pattern and distribution of medieval settlement and land use.

该项目将调查中世纪的气候状况如何影响诺福克的定居点和土地利用的模式和分布。中世纪的定居点和土地使用的特征是它们的流动性，在中世纪的过程中不断变化。中世纪定居点的解释已经认识到环境因素在确定定居转移中所起的关键作用，但未能在气候条件下识别出短期和长期波动的关键作用，例如温度，降雨量，太阳辐照度水平以及变化平均海平面具有中世纪定居点的性质和分布。正是在现有文献中，该项目将寻求填补，阐明一个局部且经过长期研究的主题，这将增强我们对气候波动如何影响中世纪定居点和土地使用的模式和分布的理解。
