Stephanie,
Can you give me some idea how using a landscape approach impacted this
project? What specific benefits does it incur over a more traditional
archaeological approach? Do you have difficulty "selling" this viewpoint to managers?
Government officials? Clients? I am trying to get a sense, I guess, of how
much of an impact this approach has, how widespread its use is, and what
specific benefits people see in developing such an approach. How hard is it to
assemble (and get funding for) an interdisciplinary team such as you have described?
Many thanks,
Karen Metheny
