商品簡介
Contains 28 rewritten papers from the third World Archaeological Congress, held in New Delhi, India, in December 1994. Contributors demonstrate the value of cross-disciplinary research in the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and geography. They investigate how the meaning of landscapes has either been retained or transformed over time, and explore how and why different communities sharing the same environment have different perceptions of their surroundings, especially where one is a colonizing power. Of interest to all concerned with policy making issues in development and management of heritage. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
