Abstract

Social meaning is an inherent quality of man-made sites. Archaeology specialises in retrieving this meaning through the analysis of the features and contents of ancient sites. Its sub-discipline, landscape archaeology, has a similar objective, which is sought after through research on the location of sites in diverse spatial spheres. One of landscape archaeology’s starting points is the concept that a site’s placement within the natural setting and its interaction with its surroundings are not coincidental; a site’s fusion into the scenery turns it into a landscape laden with social meanings.
