ABSTRACT
The previous chapters have primarily considered individual industrial archaeological resources, buildings, structures, objects, and sites as discrete subjects of investigation. However, many of these resources are also components in larger landscapes, landscapes that typically include industrial buildings and structures, pathways, residential buildings, commercial and institutional buildings, infrastructure, and associated public and private places. Frederic Quivik discusses the broadening of industrial archaeology to include larger landscapes:
We now devote considerable attention to recording, analyzing, and interpreting whole landscapes comprised of complexes of industrial buildings, the linear systems that link buildings within those complexes to each other and connect them to the sources of supply, the neighborhoods that grew around industrial complexes to house workers, and the topographic features on the land, such as mine cuts or waste dumps, that have been caused by industrial activity. 1
