Broadening Horizons by Bart Ooghe
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Landscape Study
Presents 9 papers on physical landscape research in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Giving prime place to young researchers working in this field, this book brings together diverse applications ranging from ground survey to semi-automated remote sensing, from cuneiform studies to palynology and from human geography to paradigm re-evaluation."Broadening Horizons: Multidisciplinary approaches to landscape study" presents nine papers on physical landscape research in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Giving prime place to young researchers working in this field, it brings together highly diverse applications ranging from ground survey to semi-automated remote sensing, from cuneiform studies to palynology and from human geography to paradigm re-evaluation. Aimed at a public of both students and scholars with a shared interest in the study of past landscapes, its aims are dual. In presenting ongoing research which applies various techniques available to the student of landscape, it hopes to serve a concrete purpose within these specific sub-fields. As such it may also provide a first insight into the particular methodologies addressed. In addition, by extending its gaze beyond geographical, temporal or disciplinary constraints, "Broadening Horizons" addresses the need for a continued awareness of the many different methods and conceptualisations existing in this field. It hopes to illustrate some of these highly diverse ways in which to approach physical landscapes of the past and, by doing so, stress once again the value of continued cooperation between the many specialisations that make up this ever-expanding area of research. |
