About this journal

Aims and scope

Landscape History is the leading interdisciplinary, international journal of the Society for Landscape Studies.

The aim of the journal is to promote the study of the landscape in all its aspects. It provides a forum for all those concerned with the material and cultural evaluation of human use of the land. The ultimate intention is to secure a more penetrating comprehension of landscape evolution and an overall narrative account of landscape prehistory and history, together with an understanding of how this has influenced, and may usefully guide, the management of the present-day landscape.


To this end, Landscape History publishes quality research in a variety of fields and from a range of perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the landscape and its physical and cultural contexts. The Editor welcomes submissions both from, and about, any part of the world.


Peer Review Statement

All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least two independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized.
