Klappentext

In recent years, the increasing significance of cultural (also archaeological)
landscapes has presented archaeology with new major challenges, which can only be
met through interdisciplinary cooperation and on the basis of participatory
initiatives. The urgent need to develop effective concepts for the stewardship of
archaeological sites and their natural environment can be the triggering force for
replacing the destructive methods of archaeology with creative strategies and
thereby for drastically changing the profile of this discipline in research and
teaching. These considerations were the focus of the present volume that presents
the results of the project Modelling Archaeological Landscapes. Bridging Past and
Present in Two Mediterranean Islands , which was carried out by the Universities of
Heidelberg and Catania in 2018 and funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange
Service).
