ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the idea of maps as assemblages. We pose three questions: What is it that maps represent? What is that maps do? How do maps produce archaeological knowledge? In linking all three of these questions, we view maps through what might be called relational or more-than-representational thinking. In describing maps as assemblages, we want to stress the way that maps intersect with archaeological practices and how this connects to archaeological knowledge rather than think about them purely as representations. In exploring these questions, we draw on moments in the history of British landscape archaeology as a way to ground our discussion in actual practices and debates.
