Cultural Landscape History

Cultural Landscape History studies how human activities shape and change the land over time. It examines the interplay between people and their environment, focusing on the ways cultures influence land use, architecture, agriculture, and urban planning. By analyzing these changes, we gain insights into historical societies, their values, and their relationships with nature. This field connects history, geography, and archaeology, helping us understand how landscapes reflect cultural identities and contribute to our shared heritage.
