Abstract
This paper is an attempt to isolate and to evaluate the archaeological criteria for pastoral farming in Neolithic and Bronze Age England. As an alternative to intuitive approaches to the problem, some lines of argument are set alongside the environmental evidence for patterns of early land use in the English Lake District, and the relationship between this interpretation and the distribution of some contemporary artefacts and field monuments is briefly discussed.Keywords
