* Over my Dead Body: Resurrection of History and Memory at the Gravesite
* Using GIS to Visualize Ephemeral Hunter-Gatherer Landscapes in a Transforming Environment
* Landscapes of Status in Viking-Age Iceland
* The Mortuary Landscape of Bronze Age Hovsgol Province, Mongolia
* At the Edge of Nation: Lynching Memorials across America
* A Paradox of Place: Settlement Constancy and Changing Cultural Systems in the Highland Andean Altiplano
* “Para Mí Es un Lugar Sagrado”: Contemporary Conceptions of Cenotes in Valladolid, Yucatán
* Tangled Silk: The Politics and Economics of Silk Road Heritage
* Mudflats to Mansions: an Archaeological Life History of the Landscape of Boston’s Back Bay
* Landscape and Cosmology: Their Interactive Relationship in the Sultanate of Banten, Java, Indonesia
* The (Re)Union of the Known and the Unknown: An Archaeological Approach to the Study of Graffitied Landscapes
