Abstract
This article explores how new research is transforming our understanding of the lead mining landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. The bold assessments made by pioneers such as Arthur Raistrick are being overturned, as detailed field evidence challenges and overturn previous assumptions. The article puts forward new arguments with regard to the influence of geology on mine morphology and the dating of workings, and explores how new Global Position System technology is changing surveying techniques, allowing much higher resolution of detail. It presents a detailed analysis of the recently surveyed sites in the Yorkshire Dales that links above and below ground field evidence to the historical record. Finally it shows how mining archaeology gives researchers a rare and direct experience of the lives of people in the past.
