ABSTRACT

At present, landscape archaeology is characterized by myriad theoretical and methodological approaches (for overviews, see Anschuetz et al. 2001; Darvill 2008; David and Thomas 2008; Patterson 2008). In archaeology, landscape approaches developed in the 1970s and 1980s, outside of behavioral archaeology. Yet they appealed to behavioral archaeologists because they focused on human–landscape interactions. In a sense, landscapes are artifacts writ large and subject to the same types of behavioral study.
