A phenomenology of landscape: A crisis in British landscape archaeology?

Barrett, John C., Ko, Ilhong·2009·Journal of Social Archaeology

Abstract

Recent criticism of the accuracy of the claimed observations on monument location by workers employing a ‘phenomenological’ approach to landscape archaeology in Britain has exposed failures in the way their particular approach has been employed to explain the choices made in the siting of certain Neolithic monuments. This article explains why such errors of record may have occurred and re-examines the ways in which the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger can offer a more positive contribution to our understanding of the historical context of the creation of these monuments.

  • There are two ways of perceiving the world: present-at-hand and ready-to-hand.

    “According to Barrett & Ko (2009: 282) there are two ways of perceiving the world. One way is to regard the world as that which is experienced by a subject who is consciously aware of his or her surroundings; as an object of inspection. This type of attitude is known as present-at-hand (vorhanden) in Heideggerian phenomenology. The other way is to regard the world as that which is approached simply”
  • For the ready-to-hand way of Being, movement throughout the landscape involves encounters with meaningful elements in the landscape as they 'just exist', and through these encounters possible understandings or categorizations of the landscape may come to be recognized.

    “For the latter way of Being, movement throughout the landscape, although initiated with a specific destination in mind, also involves encounters with meaningful elements in the landscape as they ‘just exist’; it is through these encounters that the possible understandings or categorizations of the landscape (such as that according to hillslope position) may come to be recognized.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
