Abstract:

This paper addresses the problem of establishing significance for archaeological sites. The author argues that what is needed is a mechanism for linking the historic context with the archaeological context. He identifies "landscape" as a key concept in this linkage and emphasizes the importance of research designs that make the linkage explicit. He also offers suggestions for making the concept of "property type" more applicable to archaeological situations.
