About the project
The ESR 2 TERRANOVA research project aims to model the settlement and land-use history of Northwest European landscapes with a focus on the long-term impact of human land use on fluvial systems located in Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. The project aims to identify the most significant drivers in regional human-environmental interactions and to develop a spatial database for both archaeological and historical landscape data.
