The Upper Tisza Project is an interdisciplinary Anglo-Hungarian landscape archaeology project, based in the University of Durham/Dept. of Archaeology and E??tv??s Lor??nd University/Institute of Archaeological Science, Budapest. The project focuses on three principle aims: (i) the definition and explanation of changes in the palaeo-environment, together with changes in regional economic potential, over the last 10,000 years; (ii) the definition of long-term changes in arenas of social power which are related to the exploitation of local and regional potential; (iii) the clarification of upland-lowland relationships though definition of the mechanisms of exploitation of upland resources. This resource presents the results of the project in E-Book format and, at present, Book One of the Upper Tisza Project, out of a projected Eight, is available. It contains the introduction to the project, the information pertaining to fieldwalking methods and the results and interpretations of one of the three fieldwalking blocks.
