The Institute of Archaeology, UCL
Room 612
Landscape archaeology, for the purposes of the proposed conference, will be taken in its broadest context, to include theoretical, anthropological and ethnoarchaeological approaches, as well as field studies of archaeological sites, or systems of sites, both in their current and past landscape contexts.
It is expected that the themes of the conference might include:
Reconstructing, constructing or envisioning landscapes of the past?
Landscapes of settlement and livelihood, including trade networks
Sacred landscapes and pilgrimage
Landscapes and identity: is the concept of 'landscape' meaningful in modern or ancient contexts in South Asia?
Issues of access to contested space for 'minority' ethnic or religious groups, castes and genders
Modern 'economic' versus ancient 'cultural' landscapes (need there be conflict?)
The role of landscape archaeology in cultural heritage management
Participants in the conference are invited to offer a paper convering one or more of these themes, or to suggest additional themes within which their paper might be placed.
