`Broadening Horizons: multidisciplinary approaches to landscape
study' presents nine papers on physical landscape research in the
Mediterranean and the Near East. Giving prime place to young
researchers working in this field, it brings together highly
diverse applications ranging from ground survey to semi-automated
remote sensing, from cuneiform studies to palynology and from human
geography to paradigm re-evaluation. Aimed at a public of both
students and scholars with a shared interest in the study of past
landscapes, its aims are dual. In presenting ongoing research which
applies various techniques available to the student of landscape,
it aims to add to the practice of these sub-fields. As such it may
also provide a first insight into the particular methodologies
addressed. In addition, by extending its gaze beyond geographical,
temporal or disciplinary constraints, `Broadening Horizons'
addresses the need for a continued awareness of the many different
methods and conceptualisations existing in this field. It hopes to
illustrate some of the highly diverse ways in which to approach
physical landscapes of the past and, by doing so, stress once again
the value of continued cooperation between the many specialisations
that make up this ever-expanding area of research."This is a very
positive endeavour to improve cross-discipline awareness and
collaboration. It is organised as a multi-facetted reader
highlighting some of the wide ranging ways in which the past
landscapes of the Mediterranean and Near East can be approached. It
provides a significant contribution to the field of landscape
research, and should prove of value to specialists and beginning
researchers alike, both for its specific topics and its
multidisciplinary approach."Professor Dr. M. Tanret, Head of the
Dept. of Languages and Cultures of the Near East, Ghent University
