Landscape
archaeology is the study and interpretation of past landscapes through
the recovery of physical and historical evidence. Landscape archaeology
has included excavations of Near Eastern palace gardens, the backyards
of Pompeii, the field systems of Mesoamerica, and the gardens of America’s
colonial gentry. This course covers a range of topics within landscape
archaeology that relate to core principles of the field of archaeology:
stewardship of the landscapes through managing and protecting cultural
resources, working with descendant communities, archaeological ethics.
The course also provides students with opportunities to learn fundamental
archaeological skills such as surveying, sampling strategies, remote
sensing, applications of GIS to archaeology, and the creation of interpretive
panels for the public. Finally, through the creation of an interpretive
exhibit, the course provides students with an opportunity to integrate
and apply their knowledge and to disseminate their own research and
interpretations to the public.
