Hi I can't find the relevant books/papers at the moment but I think it was suggested that some of the wood used in the trackways in the Somerset levels was coppiced. Also check out the more recent interpretations (trackways rather than house) of the timbers from Flag Fen. Another UK area that might give evidence is the Severn estuary hope this helps Kath Hunter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Hearthstone" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 9:36 PM Subject: Pollarding and Coppicing. Dear people, I would like to find out if pollarding and coppicing (a very pertinent topic today in prevention of deforestation) were practiced in prehistory--are there any papers, or what-not, available on the Internet? Were pollarding and coppicing practiced in prehistory of what today is the American SW region?
