Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to approach the question of landscape within the field of archaeology taking into account recent theorical-methodological perspectives and the contributions of other disciplines, as well as the mutual impact between these advances and heritage management.  In order to achieve this, we have to go through what is known as Landscape Archaeology, that is, the heterogeneous set of studies on spatial dimension defined by a deep critical reflection of the subject, together with new concepts and analysis paths to address landscape, focusing on social practice, perception, experience, movement and temporality. Within this context, other vital contributions of different disciplines, such as humanistic geography, social structuring theory, semiology, proxemics, spatial sintaxis, etc. are also included in the analysis. The examples and case studies in this paper are important to fully understand the use of these new approaches and methods, since they show the way in which central aspects of spaciality, such as visibility, circulation or cultural landscapes formation, must be comprehensively addressed. Finally, this work identifies the influence of these approaches in heritage management as well as its clear impact over the rol and goals of archaeological practice.
