Abstract:
Discusses aspects of historic landscape research, with particular reference to the problem of how best to protect this type of archaeological resource. The background to historic landscape studies is outlined, and the achievements of twenty-five years of landscape archaeology assessed. The concept of the relict cultural landscape – an area containing sufficient archaeological evidence to allow the study of socio-cultural patterning on a larger scale than is possible from the investigation of isolated monuments – is then defined, with examples, and the theoretical basis for identifying such areas is considered. Concludes with a discussion of three types of approach to the management and preservation of the archaeology in the landscape. Oetgen, Jeremy
