Character or Caricature? Concluding Discussion

Abstract

The development of Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) as a method of depicting and representing the presence of the past in the current environment has its roots in a variety of initiatives which date back to the 1980s. This article argues that some of the assumptions which lie at the heart of this methodology have problems which are causing some concerns among some landscape historians and archaeologists. In addition, there are issues of how the HLC process and its conclusions are being applied within the practices of planning, development control and community action. The argument is for debate among the interested parties before the clear potential of HLC acts not as an agreed modus operandi for all, but a source of difference and contention.
