Alluvial Geoarchaeology : Floodplain Archaeology and Environmental Change Hardback
by A. G. Brown
Part of the Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology series
Hardback
- Information
Description
This comprehensive manual is designed to give archaeologists the necessary background knowledge in environmental science required to excavate and analyse archaeological sites by rivers and on floodplains.
Part I covers the techniques for studying alluvial environments, while Part II reviews the literature on the archaeology of alluvial environments and presents new information on alluviation and site formation in both the British Isles and Mediterranean.
An important theme running through the book is the interaction between climatic and cultural forces and the transformation of riverine environments.
Bringing together information on the evolution and exploitation of floodplain and river landscapes, it draws on examples from Britain, Europe, North America and Australasia.
Alluvial Geoarchaeology will also interest physical geographers, geologists and environmental scientists.
