Any environmental archaeology approach to contemporary environments and landscapes has to take into account present day ecologies and environmental histories. How we theorise our approach to these ecologies particularly those designated as wild or natural is a question that this paper attempts to examine. It argues that we should look to the environmental humanities to develop theoretical frameworks that can guide our interpretations.
