Recycling is a basic anthropological process of humankind. The
reutilization of materials or of ideas from the Past is a process
determined by various natural or cultural causes. Recycling can be
motivated by a crisis or by a complex symbolic cause like the
incorporation of the Past into the Present. What archaeology has
not insisted upon is the dimensional scale of the process, which
operates from the micro-scale of the recycling of the ancestors'
material, up to the macro-scale of the landscape. It is well known
that there are direct relations between artefacts and landscapes in
what concerns the materiality and mobility of objects. An
additional relation between artefact and landscape may be the
process of recycling. In many ways artefact and landscape can be
considered as one aspect of material culture, perceived at a
different scale, since both have the same materiality and suffer
the same process of reutilisation. This book invites archaeologists
to approach the significant process of recycling within the
archaeological record at two different levels: of artefacts and of
landscape.
