Modern Views – Ancient Lands: New work and thought on cultural landscapes

Product Description This volume originated at a conference held in Glasgow in 2001 and organised by Scottish Archaeological Forum, which reflected the complexity of landscape archaeology in the light of new techniques and methodology. Some papers discuss recent fieldwork or survey while others reflect on the conservation and management of archaeological landscapes and the need to balance this with local economic concerns. Divided into four sections (landscape; seascapes; the management of landscapes; approaches to interpretation), contributors discuss landscapes in Scotland, the Upper Clyde Valley and eastern England, the seascapes of Scotland, the management of Scotland's wilderness, highlands and National Parks, early medieval sculptured stones, boundaries and the role of museums.
