Archaeology Master's study subject summary
In a summary of a study subject for a Master's, about the archaeological approach to churches and the funerary areas associated with them. Context: "Ce projet participe pleinement à la mise en valeur du patrimoine d’Aquitaine puisque l’église, lieu de mémoire par excellence, constitue un **marqueur du paysage** jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine." The study covers the relation between the churches as they developed and the funeral practices at the time. Any ideas gratefully received!

Selected
landscape marker, or marker in the landscape
This is about stamping authority on the landscape in terms of a visible monument. However, I feel that you don't need to explicitly state that as it will be understood in the context of the subject being discussed.

made its mark on the landscape
I agree with JaneD's point about stamping authority on the landscape. It's not quite the same as landmark, which is point de répère.

Marqueur is more active, implying that the church is doing something rather than just sitting there.
