Informationen zum Autor Laura McAtackney, Dan Hicks, Graham Fairclough A primary characteristic of landscape archeology is the diversity of its regional traditions, which reveals a range of methods and field locations. This volume demonstrates how landscape archeologies can be used to highlight material situations and the alternative political standpoints from which archaeologists work in the contemporary world. Zusammenfassung The contributors to this volume take advantage of the diversity of landscape archaeology to examine the link to heritage, the impact on our understanding of temporality, and the situated theory that arises out of landscape studies, using examples from New York to Northern Ireland, Africa to the Argolid.
