Abstract

Archaeology encompasses the study of human artefacts, and the largest of those artefacts is the landscape–at least in those many countries where human settlement is old and enduring in its impact. The landscape is also the domain of natural history. Yet human history and natural history are often treated as if they inhabited separate lands, and are addressed in different terms. Here is the point of their union, through a questioning of recent approaches to archaeology.
