Magali WATTEAUX THE VILLAGE AS SEEN BY LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGISTS

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how landscape archaeology can contribute to our knowledge of present-day villages. The results of historical studies or excavations of villages may be augmented or interpreted differently using such tools as planimetric data, varying scales and morphological analysis. Interpreting villages through landscape archaeology provides a diachronic and multi-scale spatialization of archaeological and morphological information, thus contributing to the historical narrative of our villages and their territories.
