Sites and the mental landscape : Stone Age in the Kullen district, North-western Scania, Sweden
Författare
Summary, in Swedish
Abstract in Undetermined
The approach of the mental landscape enlarges the perspectives for interpreting sites and settle- ments. In the Kullen district sites and settlements is theorized by breaking down the dichotomi- es of Mesolithic and Neolithic and the archaeologically constructed borderline between the periods. The terminology and the interpretation of site and settlement need to be extended by including the materiality of landscape, and the long-term utilization independent of presumed dominating subsistence strategies.
