This book illustrates how important the uplands archaeology
of Wales is as a resource for understanding the rich history of the country and
for the future development of its society and economy. It presents the results
of Uplands Initiative surveys, chronological and thematic overviews, and
outlines the practical benefits for rural economies to be gained by the
sympathetic exploitation of the archaeological resource.
