Zusammenfassung:"The Camel and Fowey rivers incise deeply into Cornwall, nearly meeting in the middle. This book is a landscape study of the Camel/Fowey corridor which forms a natural trans-peninsular portage route across Cornwall, avoiding circumnavigating the notoriously hazardous Land's End sea route. The author investigates the effect this route had on society through micro and macro settlement studies involving an extensive programme of geophysical analysis. This has generated fresh insight into the socioeconomic and continuity dynamics of this part of Cornwall, together with the interaction between Romans and the indigenous population. The findings explore sociopolitical influences in the Roman period and cultural continuity into the post-Roman period."--Back cover (page 4 of cover)
