research

Fleming is best known for the discovery of the Dartmoor Reaves , a system of Bronze Age field boundaries, which is the basis of a system of border demarcation and field systems in Dartmoor comprising several settlement chambers . Fleming is a representative of New Archeology and is opposed to post-processional landscape archeology and phenomenology , as represented particularly by Christopher Tilley . After retiring, Fleming is working on early medieval agriculture in Dartmoor , Monks' Trod in central Wales, a medieval road connecting the Cistercian monasteries of Strata Florida and Cwmhir Abbey , and post-medieval forest grazing systems in Wales.
