A History and Examination: Finn Slough as a Cultural Landscape
Thursday, April 10th, 12pm-1pm
Online, By Donation

Finn Slough, settled by Finnish fishermen east of Steveston, has a history tied closely to the land and the fishing industry. Join Guy Taylor, 2024 winner of the Robert Lemon Heritage Studies Prize, and explore the history of the site, and the concept of cultural heritage landscapes (CHLs).

Leigh Brook, Worcestershire. A splay of Bankside trees cast their shadows over the water. Blurred edges of greens, yellows and gold. In mid photo the waters run white over a small cataract. A trunk lies flat across the stream.

Planning a long #walk (280 miles) this #summer. Making an essential kit list. First thing on it is #saucisson! That says a lot about me! What would other #LongDistance #Walkers recommend as the first things to be packed? #River #Walks. #Slow #Research #EnvHist #HistGeog

And finally, 'on/upon-river' name distribution before 1200AD. Now we really do have something to talk about! No #Rivers #Trent, or #Thames, or #Severn! As always, your thoughts welcomed. #Medieval #PlaceNames #Histodon #EnvHist #HistGeog

Here's the situation in 1250. Getting interesting, isn't it! The northern and western bias gets stronger. Emerging are the #Rivers #Trent, #Yorkshire #Ouse and #Derwent. #Medieval #Histodon #EnvHist #HistGeog

And now for some #river #PlaceName time-sliced #maps. Here is the situation in 1350AD after the first attestation spike. #Medieval #Histodon #EnvHist #HistGeog

Been loving sharing early, unformed research live on #Mastodon today on #river #PlaceNames. I feel like a pizza chef working in an open kitchen. And I wanted to thank everyone who has engaged. Not only sharing great ideas, but delivering additions to the database too! You’ve added tasty toppings. I will continue to post things for you to mull over. #Rivers #Medieval #EarlyModern #EnvHist #HistGeog #Histodons

My 1st (unfiltered) pass in #mapping #English #PlaceNames taking the form ‘X-on/upon-river Y’ (e.g. Stratford-on-Avon). Data (158 names) incl. both surviving & ‘lost’ names, with dates of 1st reference ranging from 900-1983! The distribution is intriguing, espec. the absence of names in the S & E, as is the tendency for names to cluster. Only named rivers drawn. Now time to slice, dice, & play. Your thoughts welcomed. #Medieval #EarlyModern #Names #EnvHist #Histodon #HistGeog #Rivers #Maps
