Abstract

The historical trajectory of the concept of landscape - within Archeology - is recapitulated from the beginning of the discipline in
the 19th century to the most current approaches, including historicalculturalism and processualism. The diversity of applications of the concept of Landscape in Archeology is presented in a series of concrete examples that include the funerary monumentality of the ‘sambaquis’ of southern Brazil; earthworks and as ‘Landscapes of Movements’ in the Llanos de Morros in Bolivia; the sacredness of the landscape and the concept of Huaca among Andean societies; suspended terraces for agriculture in Guyana; the debate on the carrying capacity of Amazonian biomes and pre- colonial forest management; the pan-Amazonian 'geoglyphs' and the Bückberg hill in Germany, where the Nazi Third Reich ‘harvest festival’ was held.
