Abstract

National archaeological site parks are important for scientific protection and sustainable utilization of China's large ancient ruins. It is noteworthy that there is a lack of systematic analyses and dynamic strategies for the planning of archaeological sites parks, a lack of a comprehensive method for extracting earth surface information of archaeological sites, and especially a lack of post procedural research on how human beings transform the surrounding environment of the sites. The traditional research paradigm of archaeological site park planning based solely on archaeology or landscape architecture needs to be updated, as an interdisciplinary discipline, landscape archaeology has the research advantages of being more inclusive and restoring the original state of human land interaction between ancient human and ancient environment. This paper first explains the concept of landscape archaeology and the new vision of Chinese archaeological sites parks, and then, puts forward the lack of cultural connotation in spatial background, and the absence of dynamic thinking in temporal dimension through the analysis of existing domestic archaeological site park. And it is further explored from the “protection of authenticity ", "heritage cultural landscape reproduction", "protection and utilization", "dynamic monitoring" four levels. Finally, from the micro perspective, the paper puts forward a five-stage optimized framework of archaeological site park planning based on the perspective of landscape archaeology.

Highlights

  • Taking archaeological sites and their ambient space as the main objective of national archaeological research, it is of great significance in the protection and demonstration of national archaeological sites [1]

  • The National Cultural Heritage Administration and the Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage have proposed in the "Requirements for the Planning of National Archaeological Site Parks (Trial)", that the planning scheme of the site park shall be determined on the premise of accurately explaining the value of the site and evaluating the environmental conditions of the sites

  • Based on literature review and case study, this paper explains the concept and value of landscape archaeology, its interdisciplinary, regional and dynamic characteristics, which are in accordance with the need of integrity, authenticity, scientific approaches and culture in the protection and utilization of archaeological site parks

Summary

Introduction

Taking archaeological sites and their ambient space as the main objective of national archaeological research, it is of great significance in the protection and demonstration of national archaeological sites [1]. After the 1980s, the study of landscape archaeology matured rapidly in both theory and methodology It involves a variety of disciplinary fields [7], continuously expanding theoretical horizons and developing practical strategies, opening up a new path for the planning of Archaeological site parks that adapts to the development requirements of the new era. Based on this fact, the objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to discuss the concept and value of Landscape archaeology; 2) to discuss the current situation of domestic Archaeological Site Park planning combined with specific cases; 3) to review the application prospect of Landscape archaeology in Archaeological Park Planning; 4) to build an "optimized planning framework based on Landscape archaeology l". Landscape archaeology plays key role in the excavation and textual researches of heritages in terms of the continuity and relevance of landscape
