Scope note
Agricultural field systems of embanked field plots that are traditionally dated between the Late Bronze Age and the first two centuries of the Roman Period (ca. 1000 - ca. BC-AD 200). They are native to the north-west European sandy soils and abundantly present in the Netherlands, Belgian Kempian (Campine) plateau, Northwest Germany and Denmark. The term was used for the first time by O.G.S. Crawford and E.C. Curwen in 1923 to denote a particular group of prehistoric field division; it does not have an ethnic meaning.
