Abstract

Abstract Few natural landscapes have been so negatively stereotyped as raised bogs. These stereotypes as well as knowledge gaps on bog perceptions have hampered the development of nuanced and realistic views on humans’ historical relations to bogs. We studied variation in eight bog place meanings (attachment, beauty, biodiversity, functionality, risk, admiration, historicity, and mystery) from prehistory to present by integrating qualitative archaeological and historical with quantitative survey evidence on Dutch bog areas. Virtually all place meanings were found in late modern and present-day material. In older periods, functionality, risk, and mystery were dominant. Daytime/night-time differences could explain the co-existence of apparently opposite place meanings. Physical bog landscape characteristics were important place meaning determinants, and similar meaning patterns across different bog areas underlined this. The long co-existence of mystery (and risk) alongside functional meanings may explain the persistent popularity of negative bog stereotypes.

荷兰沼泽景观的地方意义：跨学科的长期视角（公元前5000年至今）

摘要很少有自然景观像凸起的沼泽那样被负面地定型。这些刻板印象以及对沼泽认知的知识差距阻碍了对人类与沼泽历史关系的微妙而现实的看法的发展。我们通过将定性考古和历史与荷兰沼泽地区的定量调查证据相结合，研究了从史前到现在八种沼泽地含义（依恋、美丽、生物多样性、功能、风险、钦佩、历史性和神秘性）的变化。几乎所有的地方意义都可以在现代晚期和现代的材料中找到。在早期，功能性、风险和神秘性占主导地位。白天/晚上的时间差异可以解释明显相反的地方含义的共存。物理沼泽景观特征是重要的地方意义决定因素，不同沼泽地区的相似意义模式强调了这一点。神秘（和风险）与功能意义的长期共存可能解释了负面沼泽刻板印象的持续流行。
