Abstract
Abstract
This short paper acts as an introduction to the relationships between scale and landscape. It considers the impact that the adoption of landscape-based ways of seeing and thinking should have on the practice of archaeology. This impact is particularly strong in relation to concepts of the past-in-the-present, the increasingly outmoded constructions of ‘site’ and ‘period’, and the aims and opportunities of the EngLaId project.
