The increasing importance of landscape-scale research and preservation goals within the archaeological profession coincides with expanded threats to the archaeological record through massive energy exploration and infrastructure projects and through the cumulative effects of smaller-scale development. It is further stimulated by the recognition that conservation strategies that span multiple resource classes and disciplines are best formulated at multiple and larger spatial scales. These are key drivers behind efforts to improve the ways that archaeological resources are considered in the context of development-related planning and implementation, including mitigation measures. In a prominent example, recent department-level direction from the Secretary of the Interior calls specifically for landscape-level planning as a critical component of responses to both large-scale development and climate change. This article reviews three current approaches to landscape-level planning in archaeology and calls for increased commitment to advancing their development and effectiveness.

Dentro de la arqueología, la creciente importancia de investigaciones a nivel de paisaje y objetivos de conservación coincide con nuevas amenazas al registro arqueológico creadas tanto por proyectos de exploración e infraestructura para la generación masiva de energía como por los efectos cumulativos del desarrollo en pequeña escala. Ésta se estimula más al reconocer que las estrategias de conservación que abarcan varias disciplinas y categorías de recursos se formulan mejor en escalas espaciales múltiples y más grandes. Estos son factores impulsores claves en los esfuerzos por mejorar la consideración de los recursos arqueológicos en el contexto de la planificación y ejecución de los proyectos de desarrollo, incluyendo las medidas de mitigación. En un ejemplo destacado reciente, el Secretario del Interior exigió expresamente y a nivel de departamento la planificación a nivel de paisaje como componente crítico de las respuestas tanto al desarrollo en escala grande como al cambio climático. Este artículo revisa tres enfoques actuales para la planificación a nivel de paisaje en la arqueología y pide un mayor compromiso con fomentar su desarrollo y eficacia.
