 In the cases of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic eras, a mere scatter of flint flakes will also constitute a site worthy of study.Different archaeologists may see an ancient town, and its nearby cemetery as being two different sites, or as being part of the same wider site.The precepts of landscape archaeology attempt to see each discrete unit of human activity in the context of the wider environment, further distorting the concept of the site as a demarcated area.
