Dr David Griffiths - Landscape Archaeology: the past the present and the future

OUDCE Open Event 2018
Dr David Griffiths - Landscape Archaeology: the past the present and the future
An insight into how archaeologists approach the study of landscapes. We can proudly claim that ‘Landscape Archaeology’ was largely invented in this department in the 1970s. Since then it has blossomed as a multi-period approach, concerned with understanding past human impacts on the resources, topography and environment of the whole landscape, from uplands to coasts, and from farmed landscapes to urban/industrial areas. This talk considers the origins and research methods of landscape archaeology, its development as a theme, and its future. It also explains how to learn more about the subject.
