Paper long abstract:

There has been a variety of different -scapes increasingly referred to in archaeological or heritage based studies. This paper will consider different manifestations of -scape based studies, and assess whether these are unified by an underlying conceptual framework. Furthermore, the inter-relationships between different -scapes will be considered in terms of how they articulate in various contexts. In particular, the apparent contrast between studies which engage with contemporary manifestations of -scapes and those which engage with past -scapes will be explored.
