Archaeologists have long given attention to landscape, especially
within settlement archaeology. In recent years, however, the focus
on landscape has shifted and what was once generally passive
background has now assumed the foreground. This results partly from
archaeologists expanding their view beyond individual sites to
considering a more comprehensive distribution of human traces in
and especially between specific "places of special interest."
This book offers new and diverse perspectives on the ideational
qualities of past landscapes. The editors introduce several
theoretical sources supporting studies of ideational landscapes
and, in so doing, give definitions of key categories of landscape,
as constructed, conceived, and ideational. The contributors draw on
the wide range of literature on these kinds of landscape, numerous
case studies and their own theoretical background and experience to
provide a thematic examination of the archaeologies of
landscape.
