Today a variety of different theoretical concepts determine the joint research of archaeologists and geoscientists, all of which can be summarised under the terms landscape or geoarchaeology.

One example of a geographical concept being applied within the framework of archaeology is the theory of central places by W. Christaller. Such concepts and theories were normally developed using measuring data in contrast to the proxy data normally available within landscape archaeological projects.  So, how successful is such an adoption? Where are the limitations and how can we deal with problems that may occur?

This session provides a platform for the presentation, evaluation and discussion of theoretical concepts in the wide field of landscape archaeology and addresses the question of what the future will bring for the discipline of landscape archaeology.
