The session was guided by the crucial concept termed the 'archaeological continuum'. This concept can be defined as a proactive approach to landscape survey based on the summative evidence detected (or detectable) within the area under examination, reducing spatial and chronological gaps as far as possible through the intensive and extensive application of a wide variety of exploratory methods and analytical techniques. Research work across Europe as well as contributions presented in this session have demonstrated that it is now possible to explore the whole landscape of carefully chosen areas and study them as an archaeological continuum. Archaeological interpretations derived from this kind of approach can be expected to reveal different layers of information belonging to a variety of chronological horizons, each displaying mutual physical (stratigraphic) and conceptual relationships within that horizon. The raising of new archaeological questions and also the development of alternative conservation strategies directly stimulated by the radical ideas inherent in the concept of the 'archaeological continuum' are among the major outcomes of the session.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Dabas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789697131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789697131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archaeopress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Michel Dabas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442583318783,"sku":"9781789697131","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7e39210-90b5-4711-a7d6-80170fe1e53f.jpg?v=1777198370","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mapping-the-past-michel-dabas-9781789697131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
