Description
Christopher Tilley's Interpreting Landscapes Geologies, Topographies, Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3 offers a fresh approach to understanding the past. By examining Britain's prehistory through the lens of its geology and landscapes, Tilley reveals the significance of the land itself in shaping human occupation over time.
Through his phenomenological fieldwork, Tilley explores the potentialities and symbolic resources of different landscapes, from granite uplands to pebbled hilltops. He creates a rich and imaginative account of the landscapes of southern England and the people who inhabited them, highlighting the importance of landscapes for human settlement.
This book is a key theoretical statement about the role of landscapes in human settlement, and is a valuable contribution to the field of archaeology and social science.
