Beschreibung
This encyclopedia defines terms, introduces problems, describes techniques, and discusses theory and strategy of the fast developing field of geoarchaeology. The format is designed to make specialized details accessible to the public as well as practitioners. It covers subjects in environmental archaeology, dating, materials analysis, and paleoecology, all of which represent different sources of specialist knowledge that must be shared in order to reconstruct, analyze, and explain the record of the human past. It will not specifically cover sites, civilizations, and ancient cultures, etc., that are better described in other encyclopedias of world archaeology, but it does include entries on sites and past events that are better known as a result of substantial geoarchaeological contributions.
Renders geoarchaeology in simple, understandable terms Presents a comprehensive compendium for fast access to information Investigates the collaboration of archaeology and earth science to discover past human behavior
