Abstract
The primary concern in this chapter is the contention that we still pay remarkable little attention to the associations that that contemporary people have with the archaeological sites that are an integral component of the landscapes in which they live. There are many reasons for this neglect, but my focus is on ways in which our mapping practices both collude in creating the illusion of “unsocialized” archaeological landscapes (that is, landscapes where archaeological traces are not enmeshed in contemporary social practice) and help to operationalize heritage management strategies that ignore social context.
