''This volume provides exciting new insights into the archaeological study of contested landscapes, bringing together contributions from around the world. Its landscape archaeology approach puts the focus on conflicts and contestations, explicitly looking at landscapes as arenas for analysing political struggles. Thus, it represents a significant contribution to the growing body of literature that engages with the more political dimensions of the past – and present''.

Archaeological Perspectives on Contested and Political Landscapes
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This book focuses on alternative definitions of landscape in archaeology, particularly those that explicitly address landscapes’ political aspects. In doing so, this volume emphasizes the non-static, dialogic nature of landscape within a community and acknowledges how a community’s composition and its relationship with the landscape can lead to tensions and even violent conflicts with other groups. It highlights the relevance of considering movement, borders, and conflict as sources for understanding how people create their own landscapes and how they reshape them in times of political conflict. For example, in contexts of colonization and war, people are forced to adapt to new politics and hierarchies as they see their personal and communal understanding of the world deeply transformed, something visible even today as political tensions constantly reshape local and global landscapes. Understanding how landscapes were created and contested in the past is essential for understanding their political, economic, and cultural manifestations in the present in order to better organize ourselves for a truly integrative future.
