Abstract: | “Powered cultural landscapes” is my term for landscapes that express social power dynamics. Historical archaeologists have
not adopted or developed adequate definitions or theorizations of the terms “power” or “landscape.” Since these terms are
predominantly considered separately in the literature, this article first briefly defines power and develops a heterarchical
theory of power. Then cultural landscapes are defined and categories of human-landscape interactions are constructed. The
bulk of the article applies my heterarchical paradigm to analyze the social power dynamics in selected examples of historical
archaeological research concerned with each category of human-landscape interaction. |
