Contribute substantively to an understanding of the anthropology of place
„Archaeology, as an integral part of anthropology and armed with its great time depth, has the potential to unify this truly interdisciplinary approach into a coherent whole. In doing so, a landscape paradigm might allow archaeology to contribute substantively to an understanding of the anthropology of place by demonstrating the limits of strict cultural materialism in explaining how people creatively fashion their environments.” (Anschuetz u.a. 2001, 192)
