Abstract
The commonality in landscape archaeology is its diversity—of method, theory, era, and interdisciplinary influence. It is a complex, macro‐scale endeavor. One maps features, connects them with elements in the natural or built environments, and identifies patterns of land use. Archaeologists study how homes, yards, work areas, market places, and sacred places are pieced together. They focus on the what, when, how, and why people deliberately and/or unwittingly shaped the environment. Landscape archaeologists rarely consider gender dynamics. The examples here were drawn from ancient Rome, Greece, Eurasia, and San Francisco. They pertain primarily to masculinity, homosexuality, genital power, and spiritual life. The sparse coverage on expressions of female sexuality reflects a bias within archaeological research. In most cases, wall paintings, mosaics, and architecture reveal the presence of gendered space. No archaeological imprint occurs when places acquire an evanescent sexuality based on sight, sound, smell, touch, deep familiarity, or personal intimacy.
