		The discussion addresses the study of 'maritime societies' as phenomena in the past and in the present and draws upon notions of landscape and of critique, where 'landscape' incorporates the physical and cognitive setting of everyday life, and 'critique' concerns the way in which archaeologists direct their actions and their interpretations in transforming modern society.
		Hence the identification of a society as a 'maritime' society reflects the degree to which the sea shapes each of the four aspects of the society concerned, so the term can be applied with considerable sensitivity to the evident characteristics of the society under consideration.
		In short, maritime archaeology might be described as the use of ancient material in examining whether it is appropriate to apply the term 'maritime' to past societies.
