This book critically evaluates the prevailing idea that north-west European migration was central to the transformation from post-Roman to 'Anglo-Saxon' society in Britain, and explores the increasing evidence for more evolutionary change.
The aerial photographs selected for this book tell the visual story of the Cambridgeshire landscape from prehistoric times to the end of the 20th century. Human activity and occupation over the course of 6000 years have left indelible marks on the countryside which are clearly visible from the air. Stone Age tracks and earthworks, Iron Age camps and medieval manor houses, modern buildings and sprawling towns can all been seen in book.
