 This paper proposes a novel approach to understanding the relationship between historic agriculture and soil erosion. By integrating landscape characterization data from archaeological sources with GIS-based models, it demonstrates how different types of historical farming activities can reduce soil erosion risk in response to current environmental conditions. This methodology has potential applications in landscape planning and management, as well as providing insights into the long-term effects of historic agricultural practices on soil health.
