Bibliographic resources

Ancient environmental studies introductory bibliography

This collection of summaries is intended as an introductory bibliographical resource for the field of ancient environmental studies. It has been produced by our undergraduate students, Maud McWatters-Reed (2021-22 and 2022-23), Megan Sharp (2022-23) and (Gabrielle Hill-Smith 2023-24), with funding from the St Andrews Research Internship scheme. The project is intended as a pilot for a bigger collection of resources in future. It is not intended to be exhaustive: among other things we have restricted our focus to English-publications at this stage. We would welcome feedback!—particularly suggestions for future expansion.
