摘要

本文调查了英国贝德福德郡马斯顿谷的垃圾景观，由一系列垃圾填埋场组成。这些山起源于粘土提取在地面上形成的巨大洞，这些洞为垃圾填埋场的倾倒提供了合适的容器。虽然这些证据的规模比考古学家通常处理的证据要大得多，但在这里，这些证据被视为考古景观中的考古特征。虽然其他论文涉及废物景观的政治生态学的重要方面，但目前的重点是提高处理这种超大规模当代废物景观所必需的方法，以便使它们更容易受到考古分析的影响。

Landfill Hills

This paper investigates a waste landscape in the Marston Vale, Bedfordshire, UK, consisting of a range of landfill hills. The hills originated as vast holes in the ground created by clay extraction, which presented suitable receptacles for the dumping of landfill waste. Although of much larger scale than evidence normally dealt with by archaeologists, these are treated here as archaeological features within an archaeological landscape. While other papers deal with important aspects of political ecology of waste landscapes, the present focus is on the upscaling of methods that is necessary to cope with such mega-scale contemporary waste landscapes, in order to make them more susceptible to archaeological analysis.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. In addition to its focus on archaeology, JCA encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, art history, cultural studies, design studies, heritage studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. Acknowledging the key place which photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, JCA includes a regular photo essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website.
