Abstract

This paper introduces and promotes Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) as a valuable research approach for adoption and adaptation in the Lower Danube area. HLC is a set of principles and flexible methodologies for integrating the historic dimension (time-depth) of landscape into strategies for the protection, management and planning of the European landscape. The approach is forward-looking to ensure archaeological and historic components are part of long-term sustainable development within the landscape and has at its core the principles of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). I outline the principles and benefits of HLC and the ELC, discuss the application and outputs of HLC and end by promoting the potential of future related research in the Lower Danube area using the example of the Teleorman River Valley.
