Abstract
Landscape has emerged as a significant site for archaeological practice: for our explorations of the past, our contributions to heritage conservation, management and planning and our interventions in the lives of others. Given this, it is imperative that we, as archaeologists, engage in an ongoing ethical discourse concerning our landscape work. In this paper, I aim to contribute to that process. I present a thematic review of developments in theory, ethics and practice across the landscape disciplines and provide a selective analysis of archaeological positions on these matters. From there, and drawing in particular on work in the recently-emerged field of ‘landscape ethics’, I develop principles for a relational ethics of archaeological landscape practice – an ethics which should help us to respond to the circumstances of landscape theory, practice and policy as they are emerging in the twenty-first century and to contribute, through our work, to the realisation of landscape justice.
