In this Macrosession with a multi-disciplinary endeavour, we consider the interaction between humanity and its environment in the longue dur\u00e9e. The term Anthropocene has been coined as a geological era to indicate the measurable influence of human activity in the geological record. It does not, however, consider the human perspective. Archaeology provides the possibility to understand not just what this measurable influence is, but also how and why it came into being. Our environment is a palimpsest of human activity, of which part is characterized as \"damage or destruction\", while other elements are considered \"cultural heritage\" and are preserved for posterity. The built and natural environment are closely linked to memory and oral history, both at present and in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This macrosession includes presentations on the current, rural, urban and peri-urban landscape to explore this complexity, for instance as a number of disconnections between environment and community; or between community and its cultural heritage. In the perspective of the urban environment in relation to landscape, archaeology has a unique role to perform. It allows for a longue dure\u00e9 perspective, gives a voice and place in history to communities from the past and reconnects natural and cultural heritage to local communities in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More specifically the macrosession will include (but it will be limited to):<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n

\u00a0\u00a0Cultural heritage assessment and the selective process of preservation.<\/div>
The assessment of what constitutes cultural heritage is in constant flux. An example is the shift in attention at Monticello, from the stately home of Thomas Jefferson to the slave quarters and their subsistence gardens. Both environmental and cultural changes continuously create the need to adapt and to re-interpret heritage and landscapes and re-address preservation.<\/div>
