LAC2010 Conference themes
Landscape archaeology is the science of material traces of past peoples within the context of their interactions of the wider natural and social environment they inhabited. The mission of the congress is to have multiple sessions with papers that are as much complimentary to each other in terms of natural and cultural themes so that cultural and natural landscape archaeologists, as well as archaeologists, historical geographers, earth scientists and palaeoecologists can present and discuss. Below the six congress themes are presented.
1. How did landscapes change?
Natural and cultural processes in the formation of landscapes: Concept of cultural landscapes and their natural counterparts: are they related? Concept of past landscapes: unifying nature, culture, perception and interpretation.
Landscape evolution: Landscape evolution and the development of models for human interaction with the environment. Archaeopalynological studies of reconstructing vegetation belts. Soils in archaeology, landscape evolution and occupation. Late-quaternary landscape evolution and geoarchaeology.
Theoretical studies: Archaeological implications of social theory in ancient landscapes. Constructed, conceptualised, and ideational landscapes in archaeological periods. Global awareness of landscapes and their mutability. Geoarchaeology of the peopling of landscape elements or zones. Cultural forces of constructed landscapes.
2. Improving temporal, chronological and transformational frameworks
Chronologies in landscape evolution: What is the relation between stratigraphy, geochronology and geoarchaeology of landscapes? Role of palaeogeographical reconstructions. Palaeoclimatology: Settlement-subsistence changes during climatic transitions. Application of landscape analysis with insights into palaeoclimates.
Transformations: Relation between landscape transformations by human causes and landscape evolution by natural processes. Contrast of physical and verbal reconstructions of landscapes versus traditional values placed on the land by natives.
From migratory to sedentary land use through time.
3. Linking lowlands to mountainous areas
Lowland areas: Impact of relative sea level changes to landscapes and their inhabitants. Landscapes changed and structured by mobile human groups and sedentary people. Continuity in behaviour in a dynamic landscape.
Mountainous areas: Interpretations of dynamic interactions between people and their landscapes. Landscapes changed and structured by mobile human groups and sedentary people. Relation between processes in mountainous landforms, e.g. mass wasting, to settlement history.
Linking landscapes: Erosion and sedimentation on local and regional scales. Relating and contrasting lowland and mountainous landscape archaeology. Seasonal connections between landscapes (transhumance etc.). Influence of seascapes on linking landscapes.
4. Applying concepts of scale
Use of multiscale datasets, from test pit observations to geo(morpho)logical mapping. Scale of historical landscapes and its spatial contribution to landscape archaeology. Changes in theorising space in archaeology.
5. New directions in digital prospection and modelling techniques
Use of satellite imagery (high-resolution multispectral images, LIDAR, image fusion techniques) as a resource for prospecting, predicting and monitoring archaeological sites. New developments in geophysical prospection techniques for prospection and site preservation (improving efficiency and reliability). Combining digital data sources.
GIS-based techniques for landscape characterisation, site pattern analysis and predictive modelling. Approaching landscape visibility and movement through GIS and related techniques. Spatial (multi-agent)modelling for understanding and predicting human behaviour and land use. 3D-modelling for mapping and analysing geo-archaeological data.
6. How will landscape archaeology develop in the future?
* What is the contribution of landscape archaeology to addressing transition periods in archaeology?
* What is effect of climate change on expected developments in landscape archaeology?
* What are consequences for future educational practices of landscape archaeology?
* What role can landscape archaeology have in heritage planning?
