The study of the landscape within the Bucium area is concerned with the processes of organising space and altering the land. To recover the widest possible range of information, archaeologists will use a multidisciplinary framework for data recovery and analysis.

             Field excavations will be augmented with techniques borrowed from the physical sciences. Because the evidence of past landscapes in the Bucium valley is also preserved aboveground in historical documents, old maps, photos and oral tradition, the project will be interdisciplinary both in design and implementation.
