McCarthy (1995) is critical of our approach in reconstructing Roman impact from mainly palynological evidence. Here we address McCarthy's concerns and comment upon his observations, suggesting that there is a wider lesson to be learnt from this northern English example and that greater collaboration between archaeologists and palaeoenviron mentalists is still needed to resolve the dichotomy between offsite palyno logical and onsite archaeological studies.

Key Words: Pollen analysis • vegetation history • human impact • archae ology • Cumbria • Carlisle • Romans.
