According to Vincent Gaffney, archaeology is "the study of past societies in their entirety, from the analysis of their cultural and environmental remains, and through the inferences which may legitimately deduced from such remains" (1995:371-2).
Since the focus of archaeology is past societies and on cultural and environmental remains, it follows that the vast majority of archaeological data is temporally and spatially referenced.
According to Savage (1990), landscape archaeology is the "study of spatial relationships among humans and their physical, social and cognitive environments" (29).
