Description:	There has been a fundamental shift in maritime archaeology moving away from purely descriptive approaches to material culture, such as shipwreck assemblages and ship construction, towards an alternate focus on examining the social implications of these cultural remains (Babits and Van Tilberg 1998; Gould 2010; Catsambis et al. 2011). The cultural landscape approach has recently been widely integrated into archaeological discourse and cultural heritage management and is well represented in academic publications such as Journal of Maritime Archaeology. A cultural landscape represents the idea that cultural identities and collective histories are anchored to the physical landscape features as well as contained within the cognitive perceptions of a given geographical area. This intellectual platform provides a mechanism for researchers to amalgamate a variety of different approaches to analyze the complexity of people’s social interactions and relationships with their environment over space and time
