This unit provides the methodological and theoretical background to the study of landscape archaeology. It will consider in detail how landscapes have been studied by archaeologists, as well as within cognate disciplines such as social anthropology and social geography; the kinds of evidence that can be recovered from historic and archaeological landscapes; and the methods used in landscape investigation (e.g. earthwork survey, aerial photographs, Geographical Information Systems).
