Abstract

[extract] Recent reconceptualizations of scale in geography are relevant to the theory and practice of landscape archaelogy. If we want to understand past landscapes as fields of human engagement, then the way we think about scale in both space and time matters. As Raper and Livingstone (1995: 364) argued, "the way that spatio-temporal processes are studies is strongly influenced by the model of space and time that is adopted."
