Developments and Challenges in Landscape Archaeology

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Developments and Challenges in Landscape Archaeology" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The aim of this symposium is to present and discuss a series of papers that focus broadly on any new developments as well as pending challenges in the archaeological study of landscapes. More specifically, the presentations in this symposium seek to reflect on the overall aims of landscape archaeology, evaluate what kind of knowledge is generated by this subdiscipline, review and/or compare theoretical frameworks, identify and reflect on the role new technologies play in the study of landscapes (what and where is their impact), discuss current and future challenges, and determine its role and impact in society.
