Döhl, Rebecca; Jansen van Rensburg, Jan
Throughout millennia people have created place
from within space by using an array of different types
of signs in a multitude of different environments. Signs
that can give insights into the very different ways in
which ancient people have interacted with their natural
surroundings and how they included it into their social
and ideological realms. Within this volume we focus on
di erent implementations of the concept of signs and
place and the broad fi eld of meanings, associations, and
defi nitions these interrelated terms cover. In so doing,
the papers in this volume explore how different kinds
of visual signs were positioned within the physical and
morphological features of the landscape; how the landscape
was chosen or modifi ed to accommodate them;
what value or information these signs provided for the
place in which they were created; and how they have
been socially, culturally, and spiritually appropriated
over time.
