1) Introduction, concept, region, water research in context of larger research program, theoretical perspective—Historical Ecology

 

2) Goals of grants—objectives:

  • Analyzing changing water-related land-use over time.
  • Utilizing technology to record endangered historical landscape features related to water use.

 

3) Data Collection Methods

  • Open source
  • eVis
  • Garmin—historical maps
  • Historical cartography & GIS
    • Prepared maps of sites prior to survey
    • Verified site locations with Garmin and historical maps
    • List of maps
    • Still Photos
      • Slide show of selected photos
      • GPS locations
      • Video documentation
        • Movie footage of sites
        • Still photos
        • Oral History
          • Video interviews
          • Narrative notes
          • Archival resources
            • Documents collected
              • Centre Histoire Archives Nationale
              • Achives Nationales de France
              • Archives Départementales de Sâone-et-Loire
              • Types collected
                • Agricultural reports
                  • List of documents
              • Historical maps
                • 2 new maps to incorporate  (1790 and 18??)
                • Data integration
                  • eVis
                  • Historical Ecology framework in selecting research questions.

 

4) Results and Conclusions

  • Video documentation of the region
  • Uses of mills
    • Current uses/issues
    • Historical uses
      • Grist mills, oil presses and saw mill
      • 2km buffer around mills.
      • Disappearance through time.
      • Uses of ponds
        • Decreasing ponds through time- and new ponds created– Ponds disappearing over time (have numbers of ponds on each map—need to adjust for scale).
        • Mills
        • Fish
        • Laundry
        • Hemp
        • recreation
        • Diversification rural economy and changes related to shift from agricultural to recreational landscape.
          • Dutch invasion
          • Vacation homes
          • Gites and bed and breakfast
          • Fish
          • Goat cheese and new EU regulations
          • Diverse animals
            • GIS results
              • Can use GIS and related tools to document historical landscape change over time on different scales and can look at interrelation of different features.
              • eVis and QGIS allows us to integrate photos, maps, documents and oral history.

 

 

 

5) Future Directions

  • Georeference and extract features from new maps to add to the time series.
  • Teacing eVis method of data integration–Prepared series of short courses to teach the method—e.g. Bibracte
  • Integrate water use with other land use.
  • Integrate our data with geologic studies-paleolimnology, palynology from pond cores.
