文档介绍：THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND
ANTHROPOLOGY OF LANDSCAPE
The study of landscape has e increasingly important in archaeology,
anthropology and geography. Researchers have raised their perspective beyond
that of the individual site or settlement to address the ways in which social
process and cultural meanings are shaped by and leave their mark upon the
landscape.
The Archaeology and Anthropology of Landscape contains twenty-eight
thematic chapters based on contributions to the third World Archaeological
Congress held in New Delhi in 1994. Contributors from the British Isles,
Scandinavia, North and South America, India, Australia and the Pacific
demonstrate the value of cross-disciplinary research in the fields of archaeology,
anthropology and geography. They investigate how the meaning of landscapes
has either been retained or transformed over time. They also explore how and
why munities sharing the same environment have different
perceptions of their surroundings, especially where one is a colonising power.
This book provides new and varied case studies of landscape and environment
from five continents and will be of interest to all concerned with the theoretical
debates as well as the policy-making issues concerning development and the
management of heritage.
