In the context of this work, the word “landscape” is used essentially to refer to the material dimension, but territorial boundaries enshrined in law (land boundaries and territorial district boundaries) are also taken into account. Although these limits are not necessarily visible on the ground, they are clearly shown on maps and land registers, and are remarkably persistent relics of earlier forms of landscape organization. While the shape of town districts, land holdings, roads, drainage and irrigation networks, habitat distribution patterns, etc., has undergone dramatic changes over time, these elements are rooted in earlier, persistent ground footprints and divisions. Landscape is like the ship of Theseus, kept in harbor by the Athenians, who progressively replaced each plank as it rotted until the whole ship had been replaced. Elements in a landscape undergo constant renewal, while retaining, to some extent, the identity of the earlier landscape. This interweaving and internesting of past and present, bearing the marks of successive generations of change, raises questions concerning the coexistence of these multiple forms.
