		Not all sites are medieval; villages reduced in size or disappeared over a long period, from as early as Anglo-Saxon times to as late as the 1960s, for numerous different causes.
		Many were thought to have been abandoned as a result of the deaths of their inhabitants from the Black Death of the mid-14th century.
		Later the aristocratic fashion for grand country mansions, parks and landscaped gardens led to whole villages being moved or destroyed to enable lords of the manor to satisfy the vogue—a process often called emparkment.

		Ibrahim, once a prosperous tailor, led a UNHCR team last week to the freshly torched village of Seraf, an already abandoned village he said was burned to the ground four days earlier by men he calls Arabs or Janjaweed militias.
		In the vast expanse of scorched earth of his former village, all Ibrahim found intact were that metal stake and a decorative twig and cloth filial from a roof that signified the people who lived in the house had been married less than seven days earlier.
		Widespread attacks on Darfur villages have ceased – largely because the countryside is empty, the former residents now caged in miserable camps around larger towns – but Seraf "shows how much work there still is to be done, starting with basic protection," said the UNHCR staff member.
