CONSTRUCTING THE PAST: An examination of manipulated historical landscapes at historic sites.
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2017
The manipulation of the historical landscape is a large part of the development and interpretation of historical sites. The degree to which this is a benefit to the site depends on various factors. Often it is essential to enrich the visiting publics experience and impression of the site, while elsewhere the highlighting of a specific time period is at the expense of other others. This session examines the process and results of these decisions.
