ABSTRACT
The micro-movements are habituated bodily actions that form repetitive daily routines. They exist within a particular practice, within a habitus, and daily activities and movements such as the shape and perpetuate social life. People engage and interact with their surroundings so that both landscape and traveller are constructive of each other, but some movement is engaged than others. Vergunst and Ingold describe a Roman army marching and how this is a disengaged form of mobility. Roman mobility was highly meaningful and political, and one's style of walking provided an identity, and separated the cultured' from the barbarian other. Pilgrimage is a journey taken specifically for a religious purpose, usually as an act of devotion, supplication or the completion of a promise to a God or saint, and is motion, both physical and metaphorical. Similar fieldwork techniques are, in fact, well established within the phenomenology tradition of direct engagement with monuments in British archaeology.
