Landscape archaeology is the study of the ways in which people in the past constructed and used the environment around them.
 Landscape archaeology is inherently multidisciplinary in its approach to the study of culture, and is used by pre-historical, classic, and historic archaeologists.
 The key feature that distinguishes landscape archaeology from other archaeological approaches to sites is that there is an explicit emphasis on the sites' relationships between material culture, human alteration of land/cultural modifications to landscape, and the natural environment.
 The study of landscape archaeology (also sometimes referred to as the archaeology of the cultural landscape) has evolved to include how landscapes were used to create and reinforce social inequality and to announce one's social status to the community at large.
Traprock (or basalt) mountains, ridges, (or just traps) are elevated landscape features made of trap rock, most often basalt.
 Basalt, due to its high quantity of iron, is a characteristically dark-colored rock that weathers to shades of red and purplish-red when exposed to the air.
 Basalt is the substance of many elevated topographic features worldwide (hills, mountains, ridges, rock formations, etc.).
 Landscape features composed of basalt may include:

 And it includes universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as well as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating from human activity.
