the author considers the role that aerial photography plays in the `reconstruction' of past landscapes, and the challenge to this role posed by post-structural arguments which focus on individual experiences of space. Ideas centred on the post-modern concept of `place' are discussed, and in particular the argument that stresses the role of experiencing, creating, and organizing `place' through the acceptance and appropriation of space. Description and the measuring of physical space (including through the use of aerial photography) are proposed as a means to convert `natural environments' into `cultural landscapes'

the paper considers the development of landscape archaeology in Britain in relation to four spheres of influence: the expanding horizons of archaeological practice; cross-disciplinary exchanges; access to appropriate source materials; and the effects of the conservation movement. It is suggested that there are four main traditions within landscape archaeology and that these embody not only different orientations in their objectives and methodologies but also different concepts of spatial scale and temporality. They are outlined as: total archaeology and regional landscape surveys; palaeoenvironmental and palaeolanduse studies; cultural landscape analysis; and historic landscape mapping. The author concludes that while there are epistemological difficulties in backwardly projecting the idea of landscape to pre-sixteenth-century societies, landscape archaeology has many strengths

description of a project, initially an investigation into the possible interest of Neolithic/Bronze Age peoples in western Scotland in astronomical phenomena, which developed into an attempt to discover a more holistic picture of the cosmology of western Scotland. Non-intrusive and traditional archaeological data were combined with landscape information and statistical techniques used in astronomy and astrophysics. The relevance of monuments within the larger context of space, rather than location, and in determining a sense of place, rather than merely location, was examined. The authors suggest that the monuments investigated may be representative of the special places or phenomena they indicate as well as being significant in themselves
